Parihaka’s mana, resistance, and courage, can never been forgotten. While fireworks tonight go off remembering *that* failed plot, I’ll think of the wāhine, tāne, and tamariki, who for a time got to live freely once again in our own land.

Me maumahara tonu tātou 🪶🪶🪶

A poster (author unknown) with the caption “REMEMBER PARIHAKA: FIFTH OF NOVEMBER”. The image on the poster features a black and white photograph of Parihaka with the mountain Taranaki Maunga in the distance. Taranaki is topped by three white feathers. The three white feathers topping the mountain are a symbol of passive resistance and peace associated with the Parihaka settlement, promoted by Te Whiti o Rongomai in the 1870s. The feathers, often from an albatross, were worn in the hair to signify non-violent opposition to the government's confiscation of Māori land. They are still worn today by people associated with Parihaka, specifically by the three iwi associated with it, and also those who remember Parihaka.
