TE ARA WAI MUSEUM TO COMMEMORATE NZ LAND WARSThe Waipa District Council are rallying behind Waikato iwi aiming to build a museum to commemorate the New Zealand Land Wars. The museum will provide an insight into the historical battle sites in the Waipa district. It is hoped the museum will honour and commemorate those whose lands were invaded during the 1860s. Ngāti Maniapoto descendant Shane Te Ruki says, "This project about the land, about the war, about the invasion of the Europeans has gone unspoken, the head of the monster has not come out." "'With feathers the bird flies'. The council has given us some funding to help with this project, but now we have to look elsewhere for more support and funding," he says...... www.maoritelevision.com/news/regional/te-ara-wai-museum-commemorate-nz-land-wars
