This aerial photograph shows the site of the imposing Te Āti Awa pā of Pukerangiora, located on the Waitara River in Taranaki. It was besieged by Ngāti Maniapoto and Waikato forces in December 1831, and its defenders were slaughtered. This defeat resulted in another migration of Te Āti Awa to the lands around Wellington Harbour.
