Awesome korero the understanding that you now know is a korero that many Maori have carried with us through intergenerational trauma. Finding out your whakapapa gave you an intrinsic sense of belonging to the whenua and indeed changed your life and outlook to involve yourself in your marae. Identity is important for all Maori to feel connected to their own iwi, hapu and whanau and why we link ourselves to maunga, moana, waka and marae.

Te Rauparaha had already destroyed most of Ngai Tahu before 1840 - first Kaikoura, then Kaipoi and lastly Onawe. Few survived that. Funny he never ever mentions that fact.

You do realize there were hundreds of Ngāi Tahu people living in Otago, Southland, The West Coast, and other pā's around the bank's peninsula area such as rāpaki near lyttelton that were safe. As well as that, many of the people in Kaiapoi pā had moved to other places prior to Te Rauparaha's attack because they knew one was imminent.

Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. That's just yours. Humble yourself and keep learning. There is so much to learn and remember in Te Ao Maori.

Hone Heke buckled and re erected the flag pole. Get it straight. Even been to Kororāreka? And fyi they intimately knew every aspect of the natural/supernatural world and everything has whakapapa whether animate or inanimate. ‘Ko te kai a te rangatira he kōrero he kōrero he kōrero’ haere ki te kura bao. Dont even speak to Hone Heke bcuz your people wouldn’t bow down and thats the reason we were all (almost) conquered. There is no such thing as inanimate in te ao Māori, neither is there in “‘western’ science” so they say
