Moving memorial to the many Māori who were imprisoned for resistance to illegal land confiscation by Pākehā settlers. Many died and were buried in unmarked graves. On Hospital Hill Road in the grounds of the former Seaview Lunatic Asylum at the north end of Hokitika. Well worth a visit and a moment of reflection.

I originally came looking to view the Lighthouse but instead was drawn to the memorial stone, like it was speaking to me.

I know more about the history of other cultures and countries than I do of my own.
