Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810-1865 :Makaenuku Pa. District of the Hutt. [ca 1845]

By: Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810?-1865; Melville, Henry, 1792-1870
Reference: A-465-009
Description: Red-coated soldiers (probably from the 58th Regiment) in the foreground, groups of Maori men and women, canoes drawn up on the shore of the Hutt River, the palisades of the pa in the background, with tall trees beyond. Several Maori are carrying bundles on their backs, possibly of potatoes, since Brees mentions 'extensive potato grounds' around the pa in his text on p.30 of Pictorial Illustrations of New Zealand The date of the original is likely to be 1845, since the soldiers shown did not occupy the Hutt Valley until 1845. The pa was located on the east bank of the river close to the site of the present Melling Bridge. Brees mentions that Makaenuku Pa was built by Porirua Maori after 1840.
