Time line
1828: Tohu Kakahi born in Taranaki.
1832: Te Whiti O Rongomai born in Taranaki.
1850’s- A peaceful settlement. People came to live here because the Europeans had confiscated their land.
1860’s- Europeans wanted the land so came in and started putting pegs into the ground. The Maoris didn’t like it so in the night they came in and took out the pegs and ploughed up the land so the Europeans could not use it as farm land. They did this in a non-violent way because that was not what they believed in.
1870- Parihaka gains its independence.
1870’s- The Europeans evade Parihaka and killed most of the people. Jailed some leaving them without food or water. And sent some to work in different parts of the country. Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti O Rongomai were arrested and sent to jail for 16 months.
