Onawe is a peninsula inside Akaroa harbour, on Banks Peninsula in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Onawe was the site of a Ngai Tahu pa captured by Te Rauparaha, chief of the Ngati Toa in 1831. Up to 1,200 people were killed here, and the land is sacred to Ngai Tahu.

The World is a round Monkey and everything in it is much like Onawe. We known that many people fought over it and the Nagai Tapu Chief won it over. He drew settlement there and conquered the mass of land. It is a big and wonderful valley. I like cheese
