Close reading and contextualisation of Rangiamoa’s waiata ‘E pā tō hau’ offers an utterly Māori way in to making some sense of the kohuru, the murders at Rangiaowhia in 1864. Leaning in to Aroha Harris’s bold assertion that ‘The future of history is Māori’ (2023, Te Pouhere Kōrero 10: Māori History, Māori People), this presentation examines the tragedy of the events at Rangiaowhia through a Māori historical lens; one that privileges waiata (song) and Māori naming practices as both serious historical sources and methodological moves
