HONE HEKE CUT THE FLAGPOLE DOWN 3TIMES AND THE 4TH WAS CUT BY HIS COUSIN KAWITI DUE TO HONE MAKING A PROMISE TO THE PEOPLE THAT "HE" WOULDNT CUT IT DOWN AGAIN. THE REASON HE CUT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FLAG FLYING ON IT.

hone heke was a maori cheif warrior and was born in pakaraka south of kerikeri. his reason for chopping down the flaggstaff was bcoz the brittish didnt go with what the treaty said. so he cut it down. but for that reason i think that he done the right thing and helped us save our country. RIP HEKE
