Takaparawhau.
Takaparawhau is a significant land mark for the iwi of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and New Zealand history as the site that was occupied by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei in the year 1977.
"The struggle for the retention of this land is the most important struggle which our people have faced for many years. To lose this last bit of ground would be a death blow to the mana, to the honour and to the dignity of the Ngāti Whātua people.” Joe Hawke
