 Hutt Valley Campaign
Te Rangihaeata then began to systematically destroy the settlers farms in the Hutt Valley.
Te Rangihaeata built himself a strong Pa near the Manawatu River[?] from which he was able to block European penetration onto that area until he died in 1856.
However, the principal factor was probably the British decision to arrest the paramount chief of the area, Te Rauparaha[?].
