* The police raid on Parihaka in 1881 to arrest the prophets Te Whiti and Tohu, leaders of a campaign of passive resistance to land confiscation.

Led by Hepanaia, the warriors participated in sacred ceremonies around a pole at the Manutahi pā, with all the principal Taranaki chiefs present: Wiremu Kingi and Kingi Parengarenga, as well as Te Whiti and Tohu Kakahi, both of whom would later become prophets at Parihaka.

Parihaka: the grave of Te Whiti and the foundations of Te Raukura, 19 November 2005Parihaka is a small community in Taranaki Region, New Zealand, located between Mount Taranaki and the Tasman Sea.

The village was founded in 1867 by Māori prophets Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi on land seized by the government during the post-war land confiscations of the 1860s.

Recognising the destructive effects of war, Te Whiti and Tohu declared they would use spiritual powers rather than weapons to claim their right to live on land they had occupied for centuries.

Te Whiti and Tohu responded with a series of non-violent campaigns in which they first ploughed settlers ' farmland and later erected fences across roadways to impress upon the government their right to occupy the confiscated land to which they believed they still had rights.

Te Whiti and Tohu were arrested and jailed for 16 months, 1600 Parihaka inhabitants were expelled and dispersed throughout Taranaki without food or shelter and the remaining 600 residents were issued with government passes to control their movement.

The settlement was established by a Māori prophet, chief and veteran of the Taranaki wars, Te Whiti o Rongomai, as a means to end the slaughter of his own people and colonial soldiers, but without surrendering his land.

Large meetings were held monthly, where Te Whiti warned of increasing levels of bribery and corruption to coerce Māori to sell their land, yet European visitors continued to be welcomed with dignity, courtesy and hospitality.

Te Whiti being led from Parihaka, November 1881In June 1868 hostilities resumed in Taranaki as a Ngāti Ruanui chief, Riwha Titokowaru, launched a series of effective raids on settlers and government troops in an effort to block the occupation of Māori land.

Te Whiti remained neutral during the nine-month-long war, neither helping nor hindering Titokowaru.

When the war ended with Titokowaru's withdrawal in March 1869, Te Whiti declared the year to be te tau o te takahanga, " the year of the trampling underfoot ", during which kings, queens, governors and governments would be trampled by Parihaka.

As Te Whiti continued to reject the overtures and bribery of land buyers, however, European anger towards Parihaka grew, fuelling calls for his " dangerous " movement to be suppressed.

Neither Te Whiti nor Tawhiao attended, so Sheehan visited Parihaka and then the Waimate Plains, where he appeared to have persuaded Titokowaru to permit land to be surveyed on the proviso that burial places, cultivations and fishing grounds would be respected and that fenced reserves would be created.

Sheehan rode to Parihaka to berate Te Whiti, then reported to Cabinet that land could be taken only by force.

Te Whiti insisted the ploughing was directed not against the settlers, but to force a declaration of policy from the Government, but farmers were incensed, threatening to shoot the ploughmen and their horses if they did not desist.

Te Whiti directed that those of the greatest mana, or prestige, should be the first to put their hands to the ploughshares, so among the first arrested were the prominent figures Titokowaru, Te Iki and Matakatea.

" A former Native Minister, Dr Daniel Pollen, also warned of the consequences of firmer government action against the Parihaka ploughmen: " I warn my honourable friend that there are behind Te Whiti not two hundred men, but a great many times two hundred men.

Te Whiti agreed to a truce and by the end of the month the ploughing ended.

By September newspapers were reporting that a scare campaign was being created, suggesting Te Whiti was fortifying Parihaka and preparing to invade New Plymouth, while the Taranaki Herald reported that the settlement was " in a horribly filthy state " and its inhabitants " in a deplorable condition " – a stark contrast to the situation a Wellington doctor discovered when he visited, writing that the place was " singularly clean ... regularly swept ... drainage is excellent ".

Tohu Kakahi being taken from Parihaka, 5 November 1881Bryce's replacement, Canterbury farmer William Rolleston, visited Parihaka on 8 October, three weeks after securing a £ 100, 000 vote to renew the war against Taranaki Māori, urging Te Whiti to submit to the Government's wishes.

At 8pm on 19 October, two hours before the Governor returned to Wellington, however, Hall convened an emergency meeting of his Executive Council and Prendergast issued a proclamation berating Te Whiti and his people for their " threatening attitude " and giving them 14 days to accept the dismemberment of their land and leave Parihaka or suffer " the great evil which must fall on them ".

On 1 November Te Whiti prepared his people with a speech in which he warned: " The ark by which we are to be saved today is stout-heartedness, and flight is death ...

It is not hard to understand the readiness of early scholars to assert that the doctrine of the Trinity was revealed in the Tao Te Ching and that its fourteenth chapter contains the syllables of " Yahveh.

He had only just put on the red mantle and the Te Deum was being sung when an armed party of Frangipani supporters ( in a move pre-arranged with Cardinal Aymeric ) burst in, attacked the newly-enthroned Celestine, who was wounded, and acclaimed Lamberto as Pope.

In early 2010, a government proposal to remove 705 ha of land on the Te Ahumata Plateau ( called " White Cliffs " by the locals ) from Schedule 4 of the Crown Minerals Act, which gives protection from the mining of public land, was widely criticised.

The problem was that the Te Deum is in C major, while the Ninth Symphony is in D minor, and, although Bruckner began sketching a transition from the Adagio key of E major to the triumphant key of C major, he did not pursue the idea.

Bizet relished the convivial atmosphere, and quickly involved himself in the distractions of its social life ; in his first six months in Rome his only composition was a Te Deum written for the Rodrigues Prize, a competition for a new religious work open to Prix de Rome winners.

Under the terms of his prize, Bizet's first envoi was supposed to be a mass, but following his Te Deum experience he was averse to writing religious music.
