Pukerangiora Pā Historical Reserve | Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Walking Tour 4K

In this 4K walking tour we explore Pukerangiora Pā Historical Reserve. Pukerangiora Pā Historical Reserve is located in Waitara, Taranaki, high above the Waitara River. The name Pukerangiora now covers several sites and a lot of military history. It was besieged twice during the Musket Wars. The site, however, is best known for its role in the First and Second Taranaki Wars (1860-61 and 1863-66 respectively.)
During these military conflicts, the site saw the loss of many lives - with each war deserving of its own historical inquiry.
Since then cultivation has destroyed much of the site. It is now under the management of the Department of Conversation.

🔴 In this video series looking at the Aotearoa New Zealand History , we aim to present the places as they are . We understand that it is not possible to tell the many complex stories of a location with one video, rather we want to make these places available to be visited virtually.

🔴 For more information about this site, we have collected some resources which can be used to understand more context -
