The construction of ruapekepeka.

“I have really enjoyed these history podcasts, unfortunately I listened to them back to front and trying to understand why governor grey ordered the war on Tainui. Nothing made sense until this podcast.
Also you forgot to have your pakeha side told in this podcast which was disappointing.
As you talk of ruapekapeka being one of the best and well fortified pa in Nz, yet you say it was built on the run?????
I say it was pre built therefor hone heke’s actions made sense as he wanted to draw the soldiers in to a trap. Where they could fight them in close range.
If this is the case and the English did storm ruapekpeka and it was a trap and they were slaughtered? What then would the nga poui kill the settlers and take back there land???
So was the land confiscation justified? The fact that you mentioned in other podcasts that there were younger chiefs from tainui and Taranaki iwi fighting there. Was it pre arranged by the new kingi tanga?
Therefore governor grey had every reason to attack tainui?
Remember the English soldiers were drunks disorganised and the general Brought his way in to power and hadn’t fought in 30years so it was now or never for the Māori.
Regards Geoff”
