Ōnawe Peninsula

Ōnawe Peninsula, 2007

The Ōnawe Peninsula is a volcanic plug inside Akaroa Harbour, on Banks Peninsula in Canterbury, New Zealand.

It was the site of a Ngāi Tahu pā captured by Te Rauparaha, chief of the Ngāti Toa in 1831.[1] Up to 1,200 people were killed here, and the land is sacred to Ngāi Tahu[2] so "is deemed to be vested in Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu" as part of the Ngāi Tahu Waitangi claims settlement in 1998.[3]
