So because of your inland location, Ngāti Maru had limited contact with Europeans during the 1840s and 1850s. And in some respects, it may have been better for you all if it had stayed that way, because the contact with the Europeans wasn't one of your most memorable occasions, as we can all imagine. None of us were there at the time, but it must have been an awful event for your people. Ngāti Maru were not involved in the land dealings, which led to the war in Taranaki in 1860 and were not directly involved in the subsequent fighting. Involvement was limited to providing refuge to Wiremu Kīngi Te Rangitāke in accordance with the requirements of whanaungatanga. And then it all changed. Because when the Crown confiscated huge tracts of Taranaki to punish so-called rebels in 1865, approximately half the traditional land of Ngāti Maru was included. So many of your main kāinga, urupā, and wāhi tapu were taken, and some have never been returned, and for that we—so many years later—are apologising to you.
