Bastion Point Inquiry

This term we have learning about War or arguments about the land. The Maori people thought after they signed the Treaty of Waitangi that they would be peaceful with the Brits and they would be one and no more musket wars. Hone Heke who singed the Treaty as well was angry that the flag at Kororareka  was only a British flag and not two flags (British and Maori). Hone Heke cut down the flag 3 times and was about to cut down a fourth time.

Our Inquiry has been about Bastion Point. The British people burnt down the houses and Joanne Hawke passed away in the fire. When the British people went to take the land at Bastion Point, no one did anything but sang prayers. We made a Document and Presentation about Bastion Point.
