On 10 June 1866, Mount Tarawera erupted. This beautiful big maunga lost half its top and created nine craters in the middle of it. The destruction of the Pink and White Terraces on Lake Rotomahana was devastating, but not as devastating as the burying of Te Wairoa village. By the 1900s, Ngāti Rangitihi had virtually lost all of their land or most of it, and they moved to Matatā. And at this point I'd like to acknowledge my uncle from Matatā, Wahia Mita. I note that after the move to Matatā, Ngāti Rangitihi lobbied the Crown for relief again for what they had lost, and they spent 30 years doing that lobbying. I also acknowledge the draining of the Rangitaiki swamp, which affected their ability to gather food. It affected urupā, two of them, and it degraded the mauri of the Tarawera awa. Despite this, Ngāti Rangitihi continued with their military support for the Crown while holding their mamae within.
