For most New Zealanders, days like 6 February or 25 April are laden with significance. They are recognised as markers of important moments in our past; they inspire pride, connection, reflection, or perhaps controversy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome dates hold a sombre or sinister place in the nation’s collective memory: 15 March (the Christchurch mosque attacks), 12 October (Passchendaele), or 24 December (Tangiwai).
