The matter was debated among all the learned men of all the tribesassembled at Nukutāurua, Māhia, a few years before the Treaty of

“…what was unique is that when we trace those bloodlinesback, they go back to particular Atua, and those

particular Atua are responsible for particular types ofprotocol, particular types of Kawa, Tīkanga which

were taught within the Whare-wānanga, thestories. Rongomaitūaho was instructed inside

the house of Ūenuku. He was also instructedby his father Kāhutiaterangi in Hāwaiiki.

When he arrived here, he bought all thatinformation with him and hence it was

passed down right to the time ofHingangaroa, who erected Te

Rāwheoro”. Tony Marsh. Te Aitanga-

Hinematioro was a woman ofhigh standing among the EastCoast peoples from Whangarā toŪawa (Tolaga Bay), when CaptainJames Cook first visited New Zealand, in1769. Hinematioro is said to have chosenher husband, Te Hoatiki, the grandson of herown grand-uncle, Te Rīwai. Te Kākari, ayounger sister of Ngārangi-ka-hiwa, became thewife of Te Āmaru Kaitangata, a warrior of TeAitanga-ā-Hauiti.

After her marriage Hinematioro usually lived at Uawa;her pa of refuge was Te Pourewa, an island off the southernarm of Tolaga Bay. She was the acknowledged leader of TeAitanga-ā-Hauiti in that district, but her sphere of influence wasmuch wider. Her mana was recognised from Poverty Bay to HicksBay, and she had other residences and property, including kūmaragardens, as far afield as Te Kaha, in the eastern Bay of Plenty.

Whakatātareoterangi also descended from Marukauiti, through hissecond wife Te Ūmupapa, the daughter of Te Huki and Rēwanga. Hence thesaying, 'The eastern post of Te Huki's net'. From Whakatātareoterangidescended the famous chief Te Kani ā Takirau and others.
