The Gate Pa Battle by Yvonne

SummaryThe Gate Pa Battle by Yvonne from Kopukairoa, Arataki Primary School was part of an entry by Room 10 into the 150th Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyGate Pa war began in 1864
between Tauranga Māori and Pakeha.

They used muskets, taiaha, cannons and rifles.

The ground was messed up with blood everywhere.
People were flying from here to there.

I see the blood in the mouths of Chiefs
as they are shot by flying bullets.

The brave Māori people defended their land.
