[kropotkindersurprise]

March 11, 1845 - Māori warriors led by Hōne Heke and Te Ruki Kawiti made a bold stand against British occupation forces and settler colonialists in the Battle of Kororāreka (now Russell). Their victory saw the triumphant raising of the Māori United Tribes' flag—a powerful symbol of unity and resistance.

The defeat forced many settlers to flee Aotearoa and sell their land, marking a significant moment in the fight for Māori sovereignty. [link]
