★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An important part of Aotearoa's history that I never knew about until I moved near by. Sunset from here is stunning and it's also just off the motorway

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty nice job of preserving a piece of NZ history. Worth a stopover on the way out or back from Auckland.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Short wander around this historic place. You are within earshot and can see the motorway, so somewhat distracting. Interesting array of signs which frame the various aspect of the battle(?) well. Lots of parking available.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Rangiriri Paa, Is a tribute to the battle between kingitanga adherents and the fallen Waikato Maori chiefs, warriors, women and children. This paa site memorializes 'waikato land wars' and the battle between the English and Maori. During this battle many Maori and British soldiers died, respect for this site is recommended due to the fact that some of the Maori could be buried here. Stories from the local Waikato people describe how King Tawhiao and 200 of his Whanau fled this paa site, while his warriors stayed back to face a certain death or imprisonment so that their King could escape.
This paa commemorates the courageous battle for Maori to reinforce tino rangatiratanga, (sovereignty) and cements Kingitanga ( the Maori king movement) as an indistinguishable force for the crown to reckon with. There are pou placed down the hill and there is an aura of deep sadness when you walk down the hill.
Highly recommend visiting this site of interest.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We attended the opening of Rangiriri pā. It's amazing to see their replica of the trenches when it was a pā. It was sad and also empowering to be there and to see, even after all these years, Māori will continue to grow and inspire our younger generation to be educated about our history. I will arrange to bring my classes here to learn about our stories. Moe mai rā koutou i raro i te manaakitanga o te runga rawa ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I stopped and walked all over this site and imagined how horrific it would have been for the Maori people to be under an invasive attack. Out numbered 3 to one and subject to cannon fire from the hills and rivers. I admire thier courage and defiance. The defenders have my utmost respect.
