Rawe! Great to see the victorious battle against the British Empire Army commemorated, and the ongoing history of anti-colonial fighting from the deep history of Tauranga Moana and others. Great work Charlie and team. Great to see this event publicised, as it should be across all Maori, Pakeha and other media. This is the real history of our country.
