Excerpt from East Coast Historical Records
Owing to the general feeling of insecurity, the people of each locality lived in or near a pa, fortified with earthworks and stout palisading. It was a comparatively easy matter, therefore, in the early years of the Mission to get together five hundred or a thousand people, whereas now it is rarely possible to assemble more than 40 or 50, unless some special business has brought people together from a distance.
