EXPOSING SHANE TE POU’S CHERRYPICKED TWISTED HISTORY
“One link with our past I would like to see expunged are streets named after John Bryce. Bryce spearheaded the invasion of Parihaka in November 1881. Pacifists Te Whiti and Tohu were arrested along with their followers. Some 14 years before the events at Parihaka, Bryce led a group of soldiers attacking and killing unarmed Māori boys....”

THE FACTS:
Bruce Moon writes > Bryce, though reputed to be a "hard man", was an honourable soldier who played fair.
Thus, he was brilliantly successful at Parihaka when he presented the inhabitants with such overwhelming force that they realized that resistance was useless - the death toll? ZERO. His cannons were not even loaded! Yet that woman Turia - if memory serves correctly - called this incident a "holocaust" - typical of the foul lies of our racist part-Maori brothers and sisters.
The truth of the incident Te Pou mentions was thus. The last of the sequence of intermittent hostilities in Taranaki was that of Ngati Ruanui led by Titokowaru. Even Te Rauparaha had said that this south Taranaki tribe was one of the lowest of the low. For one thing, Titokowaru reintroduced cannibalism - lovely man. The rebels were a cunning and bloodthirsty lot, skilled in the arts of guerilla warfare. They were strongly encamped near Nukumaru. Bryce received advice that they had occupied the farm of a settler which was nearby. Accordingly he assembled a troop of armed cavalry to attack them there in a early morning raid. As they approached the troops heard the sound of disturbed animals. With sabres drawn they rushed in on the attack only to realize that the disturbance was caused not by rebel tribesmen but by a group of naughty Maori boys.
By that time two of the boys had been killed and a few more wounded.
Such was the"murder of children" as peddled by today's history-twisters. It would do them well to reflect honestly on the true circumstances - troopers keyed up to the limit with adrenalin flowing, expecting to confront armed, skilled and ruthless enemies. Of course they would strike first and look second - seconds later. PUT THE FULL BLAME FAIRLY AND SQUARELY ON THAT NASTY CANNIBAL CHIEF - TITOKOWARU.
