		Haka by Te Rauparaha, a chief of Ngāti Toa and of Ngāti Raukawa descent.
		So when Te Rangikoaea, Te Wharerangi’s wife, sat over the kumara pit to conceal Te Rauparaha within, she was not only physically hiding the Ngāti Toa chief, she was also negating the incantations of the Ngāti Te Aho tohunga (skilled priest) with the noa of her body.
		Te Rauparaha’s composition is an artful slice of oral history that demonstrates the vigour of Maori culture and its refusal to be subsumed by an empire, even when fighting in the service – along with so many other colonial and minority regiments - of that empire.

		In this context, Te Rauparaha's famous haka Ka mate, ka mate, ka ora, ka ora which speaks of the triumph of life over death is as relevant and inspirational as it was in 1820.
