In 1881 the children of Parihaka greeted the government invaders with white feathers of peace. Tatarakihi tells the story of a 'journey of memory' taken by a group of Parihaka children who travel to the South Island 130 years later.
They follow in the footsteps of their male ancestors who were transported south after the Taranaki land confiscations of the 1860s. Wellington War Memorial, Addington Jail and Ripapa Island in Lyttelton Harbour are key stations on the long bus journey to the caves at Andersons Bay in Dunedin where the Parihaka men were imprisoned. The prisoners were forced to labour on buildings, roads and embankments.
