In 1840, the United Tribes flag that had been agreed upon by Northern Māori tribes was replaced with the Union Jack by the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor, Captain William Hobson. Many chiefs in the region, led by Hōne Heke, believed the British flag flying high above Russell was a symbol of the loss of their authority in the region.
On July 8 1844, Heke’s ally Haratua cut down the flagpole at Flagstaff Hill. It was replaced twice, with both new poles being cut down by Heke during January 1845. The fourth flagpole went up with a military guard, but Heke allied himself with chief Kawiti and felled the flagpole again, starting the Northern War.
Twelve years later, Kawiti’s son, Maihi Paraone, built a fifth flagpole at Russell to honour the unity of Māori and Europeans after the war. In 1913, a gorse fire set the flagpole alight, but it was reconstructed for the final time in June 1913.
