Pākehā settlers in Whanganui erected this memorial in 1865 to commemorate the Māori who had died in defence of the town at Moutoa the preceding year. The monument is controversial, not least for its description of the attackers as being in service of "fanaticism and barbarism". In December 2023, RNZ reported that a decision had been made to remove the monument.
