Collection: Te Pūtake o te Riri, He Rā Maumahara

From a blog on www.natlib.govt.nz,

"Te Pūtake o te Riri, He Rā Maumahara is the Māori name for our latest national day, the commemoration of the New Zealand Wars and conflicts, held each year on 28 October.

Te Pūtake o Te Riri also means the reason or source of anger or rage, a reference to the lasting importance and disastrous impact these wars and conflicts had on Māori.

It is a day of remembrance where stories about the New Zealand Wars are enacted, shared, remembered, and discussed by Māori and Pakeha."
