Now, this had important strategic effects as the King movement was not defeated. It lay waiting behind two separate lines of defences. These lines consisted of flexible cordons of modern pā with one protecting Ngāti Hunua territory and the other protecting Ngāti Maniapoto territory. Neither of these lines were attacked as Cameron did not forget the lessons that he learnt at Gate Pā. Therefore, I stand as a proud descendant of those that never gave up, those that never backed down, and today, Ngāti Maniapoto, we salute you, we stand by you again, and we navigate this battle: your settlement. Ka whawhai tonu mātou, ake, ake, ake.
