Tainui Moteatea - E pa to hau 

Spare a thought for the tribe Ngati Apakura tomorrow. 150 years ago the massacre at Rangiaowhia occurred. Then after the massacre at Orakau they were forced from their productive lands by Pakeha/British troops. Once wealthy, they suffered greatly. This lament for them is kept alive today. "The wind from the north touches me, bringing loving memories so that I mourn in sorrow for my kin lost to me in the world of spirits. Where are they now? Where are those friends of former days who once lived in prosperity? The time of separation has come, Leaving me desolate. O sky, pour down rain from above, while here below, tears rain down from my eyes. O Wano, sleep on at Mt Titiraupenga overlooking the land near our village that has been overturned. Here we are beyond the cliffs of western Lake Taupo, stranded on the shore at Waihi, near my great ancestor Te Heuheu Tukino lying in his tomb on Mt Tongariro. I dream of returning to the hot springs so famous, at Tokaanu, to the healing waters of my people, for whom I weep." more info here: www.folksong.org.nz/e_pa_to_hou/index.html Nga mihi
