	Parihaka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parihaka is a small community in Taranaki region, New Zealand, nestling half way between Mount Taranaki and the Tasman Sea.
		On November 5, 1881 peaceful Parihaka was invaded by 1600 armed constabulary.
		Although there were more violent incidents during the New Zealand land wars, the memory of Parihaka is still invoked as a symbol of colonial aggression against the Maori People, having a similar resonance in New Zealand to the Wounded Knee Massacre in the United States.

	Puke Ariki - Treasures - Parihaka - the struggle for peace
		The Parihaka exhibition is a narrative about one kainga (village's) struggle for peace in Taranaki, a place all too familiar with war.
		Puke Ariki's account of Parihaka starts with the history of the tangata whenua and the beginning of the kainga, and the impact of European culture and technology upon Māori society - both positive and negative.
		Puke Ariki has a collection of blue glass bowls from Parihaka, which are being used to develop a range of similar merchandise, with the blessing of the kainga's trustees.

		Parihaka had become a haven for the dispossessed from the length and breadth of the country.
		They established monthly meetings at Parihaka on the 18th day to which māori and pākehā leaders were invited to attend to discuss the injustices and strategise for the resistance to land grabbing and assimilation.
		Parihaka was described in the 1890’s and again in 1902 as being ahead or in line with the most advanced municipal developments in the country.

		Parihaka was one of the largest Māori settlements in Taranaki in 1881.
		The Parihaka followers did not consider themselves as the Jews of religion, which Te Ua Haumene had preached, Te Whiti and Tohu taught that the Māori were the "lost sheep of the House of Israel", and "the Chosen People".
		The aim was to retain the Parihaka activists in prison until the Commission had terminated the area survey.

	The Legacy of Parihaka
		The event that has dominated the history of Parihaka is the invasion of the settlement on 5 November 1881 by 1,500 militia and armed members of the constabulary.
		The inhabitants of Parihaka were led by two figures, Te Whiti O Rongomai (of Taranaki and Te Atiawa descent) and Tohu Kakahi (of Taranaki and Ngati Ruanui descent).
		The suffering caused by the confiscation of tribal lands, the 1881 invasion, and the imprisonment of Parihaka men (some were held for up to eighteen years, without trial), remains a painful legacy for the community.

	Parihaka - A Very Real Symbol
		The primacy of photography-both historical and contemporary-in the visual record of Parihaka is an abiding impression of the exhibition.
		Pule's imagery of horizontal stripes of red and fl on white with the addition of a scattering of tiny drawn images is notably stark and spare, emphasising the theme of distance referred to in the title.
		Eventually, however, the mountain disappeared, the colours were reduced to fl and white, and the imagery of the cross and the eloquent words of Te Whiti were left to carry the burden of meaning alone: 'I stand for peace'.

		Natives who were not allowed to go to Parihaka with pork said that they would be ashamed to go there with empty drays, and would therefore not go for potatoes.
		A large quantity of land was cleared and planted accordingly, and when the crops were ready for use instead of periodal visits, a large number from distant parts came to Parihaka to settle, and enlarged the settlement by building houses and cultivating the land, thus swelling the population.
		This caused a state of alarm throughout the district, and the settlers appealed to Government for arms and ammunition, and for the militia to be organised for self-defence.

	CCANZ - Overcoming Violence: Healing New Zealand's Colonial History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Parihaka remains a little known part of Aotearoa New Zealand's history: both an incident of shame and a formative moment in non-violent resistance, looked to by the descendents of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
		Parihaka had been a refuge for dispossessed Maori and the settlement's prophet leaders Te Whiti O Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi lead the people in non-violent resistance to the confiscation of their land.
		The gift Parihaka wants to share with New Zealand is that "dialogue is more powerful than the sword, gun or human fist." With an evolving relationship with DOV, it is hoped New Zealand churches can enjoy this gift and help the people of Parihaka continue their healing and commitment to sacred peace.

		Parihaka is in no position to sell itself as an emblem of peace, he says.
		The only immediately visible reminder of Parihaka's towering past as one drives in is on a small rise, where Te Whiti's tomb stands in front of the ruined foundations of what was his grand colonial-style house.
		Rangipunga says Parihaka is a place where there is violence and abuse, where he cannot walk freely in the village because he fears being set upon by his enemies.

		Parihaka historian Te Miringa Hohaia has studied the life and writings about the man of mana.
		By that time, Parihaka was a stronghold of Maori opposition to the loss of tribal lands, which arose from Crown legislation.

		Other family traditions hold that he was born earlier (his tombstone at Parihaka indicates 1816 or 1817), and that he was present as a young man at the siege of Otaka.
		Some descendants believe Tohu and the people of Parihaka saw an albatross descending onto the village, symbolising the sanction of the Holy Spirit on the growing movement at Parihaka, and on the two men who were to lead it.
		Others arrested at Parihaka were released, the judge questioning the legality of the government actions and ordering the charges to be withdrawn.

		Beyond these fields, and at a distance of about a mile and a half from Parihaka, we crossed the road, now in course of being made, which is to be the boundary between the land marked out to be sold and that reserved for the Maoris.
		While Te Whiti is at Parihaka, unsatisfactory as the position is, he is certainly of value in keeping the peace, and is worth a large force of police in that respect.
		Bryce insisted that the Government should agree to advance on Parihaka by the 17th instant (when the monthly meeting is to be held), and occupy the place, and arrest Te Whiti under the West Coast Settlement Act.

	Parihaka Wananga 17th -19th May 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Listening to the stories of these great prophets was emotionally absorbing, yet, I wonder why it was so obvious that the three marae are not altogether one with the other, that, possibly, due to certain events in the lives of Tohu Kaakahi, and Te Whiti o Rongomai, a division of sorts has emerged.
		I doubt that Te Whiti and Tohu ever intended their people to live in disharmony with each other, rather, to bring them together in festive and harmonious occasions, and to remember those days, not in sadness, or emmity against others, but with what the raukura stands for, in a totally non-divisional purpose.
		I, among others, would love one day, to return to Parihaka, to share their memories, to be able to acknowledge with humble, but joyous pride, the passive resistance of a people worthy of the highest honour.

		Parihaka is famous for its non-violent resistance to European invasion in 1881.
		Taranaki Runanga representative Diane Ratahi confirmed that the Parihaka Papakainga Trust was the governing body of the Parihaka marae and suggested the council should try to clarify the situation with them.

	Parihaka - Festival - The history, the legacies of Te Whiti o Rongomai & Tohu Kakahi and the International Peace ...
		Many hundreds of the Parihaka peace followers were treated with a level of violence that led later historians and others to lament.
		When the authorities moved against the leaders and people of Parihaka in 1881, the children, in a bold, clever, political and humanist attempt to defuse the violent intentions of the government, were organised to greet the armed forces with song, dance, offers of food and ultimately, a return to dialogue.
		The Parihaka International Peace Festival is our opportunity to celebrate the greatness of the visionary leaders Te Whiti and Tohu, and the openness of the people of Parihaka to advocate non-violent action to the world during a time of deep turmoil and tragedy.

	Untold stories to tell by Denis Welch \| New Zealand Listener
		There he was shown a photograph of Parihaka in Te Whiti's time, and there he began asking questions.
		The young man's name was Dick Scott, and the answers he got to his questions led to the publication, a year later, of The Parihaka Story – which, revised and reissued in 1975 as Ask That Mountain, has had as profound an influence on our national sense of history as any book ever written.
		The fact that it was the work of a young Pakeha journalist at a time of intense white-imperialist chauvinism (Maori had strictly walk-on parts for the royal tour) only makes it all the more remarkable.

		The exhibition explored the legacy of Parihaka and the events that have made the settlement a site of such immense importance.
		The works in the exhibition attest to Parihaka's ongoing capacity to inspire the artists, writers, musicians and dramatists of this country.

	Ask that philosopher by Philip Matthews \| New Zealand Listener
		Great moments in pacifism: when John Bryce led nearly 1700 armed constabulary and volunteers into the Taranaki village of Parihaka, a village that was as much an experiment in human nature as anything else, on November 5, 1881, he and his men were greeted with singing children and freshly baked bread.
		No one put up a fight – indeed, it was against the rules to have a weapon of war in Parihaka – but the passive gestures had their own power and poetry, as simple yet effective as a Vietnam war protestor sliding a flower's stem down the barrel of a gun.
		A cross-cultural communication breakdown was at the heart of the issue – the military took the Maori word "pakanga" to mean "fight", when it meant struggle in a passive-resistance sense (in the novel, this is explained by Te Whiti in a courtroom scene that has clear Christ/Pilate connotations).
