E tō ana ngā hōia Māori i ngā kura wai kaitā ki runga ki te Papatahi o Plugge ki Karipori. Mai i tō rātou paenga atu e kawe ā-riri ana ngā hōia Māori, tae atu ki ngā mahi ihu oneone me te keri maioro hoki. Ka whai wāhi tonu te Māori ki ngā kōkiritanga i ngā kiritai o te pā o Chunuk Bair. Rite tonu ki ērā wāhanga o te taua, he maha ngā aituā a te Māori. O ngā hōia Māori e 477 i tae atu, e 134 rātou i whakawāteatia i Karipori i te 14 o ngā rā o Tīhema i te tau 1915. E 50 i mate mai i te pakanga, i ngā taotū, tahumaero rānei hoki, ā, ko ērā atu o ngā taotū i whakatahia ki Īhipa.
