| Description | : | Ruakanakane was a Maori pa site, located on the North Bank of the Wairau River. The area was later inhabited by the Gibson family who established the area as Gibsontown in the later half of the 19th Century. The tupuna Paraone Taituha was a chief of this place, and is buried in the urupa there with members of his whanau. Taituha was present at the Wairau Affray in 1843, and attempted to make peace between the party led by Te Rauparaha and the ill-fated New Zealand Company party led by Captain Arthur Wakefield. |
