Transcript He Whakawahia - Waikato Ki Roto o Poneke

Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro

The idea of a king which had been around
for some time , seems to have attracted
much more interest following discussions
at various hui during 1853 – 1854.
pressures on land were increasing during
the early 1850’s and bitter disputes were
developing between those who supported
pakeha settlement, the land sellers and
those who wanted to hold onto their land.
Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro

It was perceived by many that the only
way to retain effective control of lands
was to assert “chiefly mana” over tribal
land and to put tribal land under the mana
of a King, there was a great support for
the idea of a King among many North
Island tribes. The question was who would
be the most appropriate person to be
given the role?
Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro
Commencement of a King was made by,
 1. Matene Te Whiwhi a chief of,
 Ngati Raukawa, Ngati Koroki, and Ngati
Whakaue,
 2. Tamehana Te Rauparaha,
 Ngati Toa Rangatira
 Who both conceived the idea of making
themselves King, but not approved

Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro
3. Te Kani Takirau of Te Tai Rawhiti
 4. Tupaea of Tauranga moana
 Were offered the position but both
declined
 Several hui were held throughout the
motu with the final being at Pukawa.

Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro

The chiefs of Ngati haua and other chiefs
of the runanga (council) thought about
how they might have laws like the
pakeha,and so they thought we ought to
have a runanga in Auckland and so they
drew up a paper and it was signed by all
the chiefs on which Wiremu Tamihana will
take to the Native office in Auckland.
Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro

Wiremu went to the Native office in
Auckland and waited for (2) days while
other pakeha would come in and be
attended to even though he was there
first. He felt like he was being treated like
a dog Wiremu then decided to go to
Mangere and talk to Potatau about going
back to Waikato remembering it was the
pakeha who asked Potatau to come to
Auckland
Hei Kiingi he Whakaaro

Wiremu was wanting Potatau to go back
to Waikato to consider some tikanga (law)
for ourselves and from that time became a
firm Kingite and also the installation of
Potatau as King. Wiremu visit to Auckland
was only one chain of influences leading
to his joining the king movement and not
an isolated and decisive event.
Nga Pou o te Kingitanga
Nga Pou o te Kingitanga were a series of
Pataka erected at different places where
the King movement had its roots,
 these are;
1. Taranaki 1853 to mark the formation of
the land league which later led to the
King movement.
2. Otaki 1854 when Matene Whiwhi and
Tamehana decided on an appointment of
a King

left and is tapu.

When Tarapipipi became the Tumuaki as
it was named then that Princess Tupuea
advised King Te Rata to remove the
speaking rights of the Tumuaki hence the
placing of “noho puku”, and so the role of
the Tumuaki became only a ceremonial
role.
