Tokahaere e i ahatia koe e ngā atua o te pō? E te iwi tahuri mai ki tā tātou puninga o Once Upon a Taima. This week we recreate the story of Tokahaere and it's significance to the people of Raukawa.

In honour of our national day of commemoration of the NZ Land Wars, this installment of Once Upon a Taima is a brief version of the battle of Ō-Rākau in 1864. This version is based on the account of Hitiri Te Paerata, a Chief of Ngāti Raukawa & Ngāti te Kohera, who fought in the battle himself - losing many of his whānau, including his Father and Brother.
