One hundred and fifty years ago there was a village called Parihaka between the Taranaki mountains and the coast side. In Parihaka they put albatross's feathers on their heads because the albatross would land on the marae and it would leave an albatross feather. The Parihaka people weren't afraid of the soldiers. If the soldiers burnt their village they would just build it back. They knew the soldiers would come and shoot them but the Parihaka people just gave them some bread. The soldiers felt stink because the people were being nice to them even though they had come to shoot them.
