In the 1880s, Parihaka, a Māori settlement in New Zealand, became a center of peaceful resistance against the confiscation of Māori land by the colonial government. Led by the Māori leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi, the community employed nonviolent methods to assert their rights and advocate for land restoration. In November 1881, the government responded by sending troops to suppress the movement, resulting in the invasion of Parihaka, the arrest of its leaders, and the destruction of the settlement. This event is a significant part of New Zealand's history, symbolizing the struggle for Māori rights and sovereignty.
