Te Pūtake o Te Riri also means the reason or source of anger or rage, a reference to the lasting importance and disastrous impact these wars and conflicts had on Māori.
It is a day of remembrance where stories about the New Zealand Wars are enacted, shared, remembered, and discussed by Māori and Pakeha.
