1. Ihumātao

   Ihumātao is a location situated three kilometres from Auckland International Airport in Mangere, Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau) in New Zealand. A Māori village once existed there. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "cold nose" for Ihumātao. Māori first settled in the area as early as the 14th century CE. During the Invasion of the Waikato in 1863, the local Māori had their land confiscated by the New Zealand Government as punishment for supporting the Kingitanga movement. The land was largely used for farming until late 2016 when Fletcher Building acquired the site as part of a housing-development project. The Māori activist group "Save Our Unique Landscape" (SOUL) has opposed Fletchers' proposed housing development. Indeed, SOUL has occupied the site and staged protests since 2016.In July 2019 SOUL were evicted from the site by authorities and eleven people were subsequently arrested, sparking a much larger occupation of several hundred people at Ihumātao. The dispute was compared to the occupation of Bastion Point in the late 1970s (in which Māori protested against forced land-alienation by pākehā (European) settlers), including by activists who took part in the Bastion Point movement and who support SOUL's opposition to the housing development. These events also sparked a series of protests around New Zealand, the scale of which has been compared to the protests against the 1981 Springbok Tour.In November 2020, the site was purchased by the government in order to hand it back to the local iwi. This ended much of the occupation and protest. However, on 29 April 2021, the Auditor-general’s office ruled the purchase was illegitimate, releasing the situation once more into jeopardy. The New Zealand government is currently making efforts to pass legalisation to null the Auditor-general’s statement. Ihumātao stands on the Ihumātao Peninsula, in Mangere, at the base of the volcanic cone of Ōtuataua, part of the Auckland volcanic field. The scoria cone reaches 64 metres (210 ft) (210 ft) above sea level and was the site of a large Māori pā (fortification).
