  1. Beliefs of injustice

  2. Parihaka • Parihaka is a small Taranaki coastal Māori settlement, located 55km south west of New Plymouth. • Set in a landscape of volcanic lahar, this unassuming village is a site of immense historical, cultural and political importance. • The events that took place in and around Parihaka particularly from about 1860 to 1900 have affected the political, cultural and spiritual dynamics of the entire country

  3. Baston Point • The protesters camp at Bastion Point mushroomed in the spring of 1977. • The Maori Action Committee had mobilised support from most of NgatiWhatua,trade unionists and the Matakite movement and about 150 persons took occupation in January 1977. • Dame Whina Cooper was amongst the first to visit the protestors. She was to acquire a large shed for their use, from engineering contractors in Penrose.

  4. Whina Copper and the Hikoi • Whina Cooper, of TeRārawa, was born in northern Hokianga in 1895 • She took part in local affairs and by the 1930s had become a leader of the northern Hokianga people. • In 1932 she played an active role, with ĀpiranaNgata, in setting up Maori land development schemes in the region. • Eleven schemes were set up in the Hokianga district, and Whina supervised several. The schemes made rapid progress, although several later proved uneconomic. • When her second husband (Bill Cooper) died in 1949 Whina moved to Auckland. • She found a new role as a pan-tribal Māori leader. • She was foundation president of the Maori Women's Welfare League, and was active in creating regional branches. • By the mid-1950s the League had over 300 branches and 4,000 members.

  5. Motua Gardens • In February 1995 TeRunangaPakaitore began a 79-day occupation of Moutoa Gardens. • The occupation was an attempt to restore the mana of the Whanganui people over the site. • The gardens had been established on the site of an ancient pa, Pakaitore. • This had been a traditional place for trade before European settlement. • TeRunangaPakaitore claimed that it had been set aside from the purchase of Wanganui. • The city denied these claims.
