Parihaka Day 2024

Tuesday 5th November 2024

At 5.30am at ANZAC Park we gather together to honour the leaders and people of Parihaka who have brought us a Legacy of Peace.

In 1881 NZ government soldiers, including Nelson regiments, invaded the settlement of Parihaka. The leaders and people sat on the Marae offering non-violent resistance. Children skipped and offered the soldiers fresh bread.
Parihaka men were imprisoned without trials. Tohu Kākahi and Te Whiti o Rongomai were held under house arrest spending 7 months in Nelson.
We remember this and commit to non-violence and peace in our beautiful and vibrant community in Whakatū Nelson. There will be opportunity for korero/speaking, karakia/prayer, waiata/song and a Peace Blessing. Nau mai haere mai. All welcome.
