Good point RANGIAOWHIA – WHERES THE PROOFAnonymous writes > How is it that the two Maori warriors who were shot dead while provocatively threatening cabin boys from Captain Cook’s first encounter with the people of Gisborne in 1769, are both remembered and named. Yet none of the 100 or so that are said to have been killed almost a hundred years later at Rangiowhai have been identified by Tom Roa or other historians. Seems strange that an iwi that prides themselves on whakapapa hasn’t been able to produce the names of all those people said to have been killed by the British. We certainly have the government of the days account of the loss of 6 lives that day. Where’s the proof of all the other dead and who they were? tinyurl.com/ywjzesku
