However, the Northern War was not a straightforward case of Māori fighting the Crown; it was also a war between factions of Ngāpuhi. A faction under Tāmati Wāka Nene fought alongside the British, against their political opponents.

During the Northern War, the British, assisted by Ngāpuhi allies, conducted five campaigns against Māori pā. Twice they destroyed pā that were not actively defended (Pōmare's Pā and the Te Kapotai pā at Waikare). Te Kahika, Ōhaeawai and Ruapekapeka Pā were different. These were not lightly fortified villages. They were "gunfighter" pā of ingenious and effective design, manned by warriors ready to fight.

The British failed in their attempt to take Te Kahika, cleverly outmanoeuvred by Heke's forces within the pā and Kawiti's without. At Ōhaeawai, the British hopelessly underestimated the strength of the defences, which cost them very dearly.

The outcome at Ruapekapeka - indeed for the entire war - barely qualifies as a victory for the British. At the time, the British certainly claimed a great victory. They did capture Ruapekapeka Pā (albeit in a not-very-glorious manner). However, they did not achieve their primary objectives: to kill or capture Heke and Kawiti and to annihilate the "rebel" forces.

The battle at Ruapekapeka (‘the bats’ nest’), a sophisticated pā built by the Ngāpuhi chief Kawiti, ended the Northern War. Debate soon raged as to whether the fortress had been deliberately abandoned or captured.

A pā that is one of the best-preserved battlefields from the New Zealand Wars is being revamped so both the Māori and British history can be remembered.

Ruapekapeka Pā, in the Northland town of Towai, is to be restored with $8.5 million funding from the Provincial Growth Fund.

While the majority of the pūtea (money), $6.5m, will be used to seal the road to access the site, the remainder will be used to improve the site's paths, signs and facilities.

The new paths and signs will help lead people through the 6ha property so people can have a holistic understanding of the 1846 battle there, said Pita Tipene, Te Raupekapeka Trust's Ngāti Hine trustee.

* Far North battle site added to heritage list
* Mass graves from New Zealand Wars battle found at Ruapekapeka Pā in Northland

"When I came here as a child the signs said, 'here is the site of the battle between the British Empire and the Māori rebels.

"In terms of our tipuna​ [ancestor]; he was a bad guy, he was a rebel."

The restoration will include ancestral pou (posts) to recognise the tīpuna​ involved, including Ngāti Hine rangatira (chief) Te Ruki (the Duke) Kawiti.

The site is now managed by the Department of Conservation and Te Ruapekapeka Trust, which has representatives from Te Kapotai, Ngāti Manu, Ngāti Kahukuri-Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Hine and Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu.

The pā was the final battle site of the Northern War - the start of the New Zealand Wars over Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Tipene said the fact the wars started in Northland, where the treaty was first signed, was particularly relevant.

"This is called the birthplace of the nation. This is where the promise was first made and this is where the promise was first broken."

Ruapekapeka was built by Kawiti following the defeat of British forces at Ōhaeawai.

It earned its name ruapekapeka - the bat's nest - from its series of underground bunkers which allowed the defenders to move strategically from site to site without danger of British fire.

The site also included formidable double palisades, made from the hard pūriri tree, which provided protection but still allowed the defenders to fire at the British.

The protections allowed the under-gunned Māori defenders to stand against more than three times as many British and their allied Māori fighters.

But Tipene said the defence was beaten by an "unchivalrous" act by the British, who broke through the front of the pā on a Sunday morning, while the Māori were holding a service.

The pā has controversially been credited with creating modern trench warfare. Tipene said the British studied the site, making models and plans of its defences before taking them into World War I.

"This is probably the most well-preserved pā in the country. The British studied it closely afterwards and held it as the trench warfare to World War I," he said.

The pā is a source of pride for tangata whenua, for both the ingenuity and the fight for mana motuhake (autonomy) or tino rangitiratanga (independence), Tipene said.

"We're proud that our ancestors were freedom fighters, and stuck up for their principals and shed blood over that.

"We're proud of the ingenuity that they showed for modern warfare."

The restoration is due to be finished in time for 175-year events in January and February, and will encourage more visitors to learn its history, Department of Conservation operations manager Louisa Gritt said.

"By working together, we hope to better protect and present this special site to New Zealanders and their guests, so they might better understand and appreciate Te Ruapekapeka."

Ngāpuhi went to war because the British were not honouring the spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi. Today, the Treaty is recognised as New Zealand's founding document, a powerful symbol and the basis of important legal principles. The Treaty is the thread, which connects the Battle of Ruapekapeka to the present day.

Today, many pākehā New Zealanders are a little smug about their country's race relations history. There is a belief that Māori fared better than, for instance, indigenous Australians and Native Americans. They probably did. However, exceeding these dreadfully low benchmarks is hardly something to be proud of. The remarkable earthworks of Ruapekapeka Pā and Battlefield are a stark reminder of our own history of conflict and broken promises.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi was a written agreement made in 1840 between the British Crown (the monarch) and more than 500 Māori chiefs. After that, New Zealand became a colony of Britain and Māori became British subjects. However, Māori and Europeans had different understandings and expectations of the treaty.

It seems the defenders were caught by surprise when a party of soldiers stormed the breach. Most of the warriors were not actually inside the pā at the time - they were among the trees at the rear, possibly setting up a trap. There was a fierce and bloody fight. A foolhardy group of soldiers rushed out the back of the pā, to be fired upon by warriors perched in the trees and crouching behind strategically fallen logs. This is how the British suffered most of their casualties - 12 killed and 29 wounded.

After engaging the soldiers for several hours, the warriors withdrew into the bush. It was no rout. Ruapekapeka was not a besieged castle, full of terrified women and children to be defended at any cost. Kawiti chose a location that had no strategic value - there was no particular reason to hold that particular ridge. The purpose was simple: draw the enemy in, cause them a great deal of trouble, and leave when necessary. An orderly withdrawal had probably been in progress for several days before the British entered the pā.

It is difficult, then, to talk of victory and defeat. The British had taken (or were given) the enemy position, but what value was an empty pā in the middle of nowhere?
