Whakamaharatanga ki Pūkawa

Pūkawa monument

Ka whakatūria te whakamaharatanga nei ki Pūkawa mō te hui nui i tū i te marama o Nōema i te tau 1856. I konei ka whakatakotoria te kīngitanga ki mua i te aroaro o Te Heuheu. Kāore a ia i whakaae; ka whakatauhia ko Pōtatau Te Wherowhero kē hei kīngi mō te iwi Māori. Ko Pūkawa anō te wāhi i pakanga a Herea Te Heuheu me Te Wakaiti mō te mana rangatiratanga ki ngā rohe o Taupō i te paunga o te rau tau 1700.

There was an 8 mm film taken of the unveiling of the monument in Pūkawa Bay in the 1960's by my father when we had our holidays there. It was the only movie made of the occasion and it was used by NZBC for a TV program. If a copy of this TV program can be found it would be great to have a copy on this website as a part of the history of Pūkawa Bay. Please let me know if a copy can be found. I will check the archives of my father's film library for the base film.
