So as we gaze upon the peaks of Wahanga, Ruawāhia and Tarawera, the words of the elders come forward they say that man, woman and child pass however, the mountain peaks are eternal. So many communities were lost, and many perished men, women and children. Ko ngā tūpuna i tanumia ai ki te tihi o te maunga, i pūehungia, ko ngā iwi e noho ana i ngā paiaka o te māunga i tāpukengia ai ki te paru me te oneone.įor a while, these strange occurrences bewildered the people, and their meaning was not to be known until it was too late, for great was the devastation that was the eruption of 1886. Nō muri mai ka mārama ki te tikanga o te waka. Ka puta te waka, he waka wairua ki runga o Tarawera moana, me te pōhēhē nui he waka tangata nō te ngarohanga atu kātahi ka mōhio he waka wairua kē. Kua kītea e Tūhoto te mahi kino a te unu me te rāweke i ngā poupou o te tupuna whare, he ahakoa tana kaha ki te whakatūpato i tana iwi. Kua pakeke kē ki ō mātou taringa ngā kōrero a Tūhotoariki he āhua rite tahi ki a Te Kooti. Kāore e tino mōhio me i whakapuakina kētia e ia āna kauwhau i mua i a Tūhoto Ariki kāore rānei. Kātahi ka whakapuakina e ia āna kupu whakatupato – ka ngaro kotou i te whenua hou.
Ko te kaupapa kia whakaarongia ngā koura o ngā kanohi kai ngā poupou, tuarua kia whakaarongia ki te hū o Tarawera anō nei i kitea kētia e ia.
10th of June, 136 years ago, Tarawera erupted.
