What did Hone Heke cut down?
The Maori Military Leader Hone Heke, who was part of the larger body of Maori Authorities and New Settlers, had originally gifted the first Flag out of friendship, as a friend would give another friend something that would be received well. The gift was very common in Polynesian hospitality, however, some time later as more settlers came into the area, and Imperial motives arose, the flag was beginning to symbolize a political marker. The Flagpole then was ordered to be chopped down and torn from it's position. According to historians the Flagpole had in fact started to symbolize a now fallen Imperial interests, defeated also inside The United States of America. After the first few fallen flags, guards were ordered to station at it's post. The Flagpole of the British Imperial Flag was cut down 4 times, and is considered the start of "The Flagpole War" also known in other titles as "The Flagstaff War", "The Northerners War", and "Hone Heke's War". The British Imperial flag was never raised again, today the The Flag of Aotearoa - New Zealand which symbolizes Maori and New Settler coexistence is flown.
