1887 Wi Tako died in Petone.
1888 George and Frances Beetham moved to Wellington and took the Pataka with them. Great visitors site.
1912 George and Frances Beetham moved to England. The Pataka was moved to Beethams homestead Brancepeth Wairarapa.
1982 Hugh Beetham of Brancepeth donated the Pataka back to the People of Lower Hutt.
THAT is the short story.
