It has been 175 years ever since Hone Heke Pokai had cut down the flag pole in 1845. It had all begun when Hone Heke Pokai and Te Ruki Kawiti merged teams and had cut down the British flagstaff. Then the beginning of the Flagstaff war had begun!
There was a ceremony held Far North and it had Kororareka Marae chairperson Deb Rewiri give the chance to everyone to remember the legacy of these two people.
Deb Rewiri had spoken saying that this commemoration was a reminder to tell people that they should hold onto their Rangatiratangi.
