Today is #RāMaumahara (our national day of remembrance of the #NZWars) so I visited the sites of the Battle of Ōrākau and attack on Rangiaowhia, driving past Nixon, Grey, Carey, Bryce, Whitaker and Whitmore Streets on my way.
If you want to visit, either in-person or virtually, I can recommend Te Ara Wai: Journeys

@essjax I find the grammar fail less less troubling than the historical insensitivity. Naming a restaurant chain in the Waikato after a symbol of #NZWars oppression shows not only ignorance of grammar, but also of #NZHistory.

I am looking forward to watching this (available from Monday 30 April). It is the history we pākehā in particular need to know and understand, especially we older ones. We are woefully, and at times, wilfully, ignorant of our history, especially the nature of colonisation, and the suffering and devastation it brought.
