Six months later, in May 1840, Te Rere-ta-whangawhanga and Te Rangitake drew their moko as signatures at the head of the Waikanae names on the copy of the Treaty of Waitangi brought by the missionary Henry Williams. By this time another missionary, Octavius Hadfield, had arrived to begin his work on the coast; in December 1839 he recorded that Te Rangitake (whom he described as 'the principal chief' at Waikanae) gave him a warm welcome. During 1842 and 1843 Te Rangitake and his people built a splendid adzed timber church, over 70 feet long, with kowhaiwhai and tukutuku panels. 'The labour is immense', wrote a visiting missionary; and Bishop G. A. Selwyn, who preached there to congregations of several hundred people, thought it 'the best native workmanship in the country'. It was this church which is said to have inspired the building of Rangiatea.

In 1864 the Ngati Maniapoto leader, Rewi Maniapoto, sent emissaries to Ruatahuna requesting Tuhoe to take part in the war against advancing government forces. According to tribal tradition, Tuhoe met at Oputao to discuss this request. Piripi Te Heuheu of Maungapohatu felt obliged to honour the pledge of support given to the King movement at Pukawa in 1857. Te Ahoaho and Te Whenuanui, on the other hand, felt that armed resistance should take place only when their borders were threatened. Piripi stood his ground and left for Waikato with his fighting force. Soon after, Te Whenuanui had a change of heart and followed with his force, which included eight women.

I te uinga a te kaihōpara a Kāpene Kuki i ngā Māori mō te ingoa o te moutere nui i te raki o Aotearoa (North Island), ka tuhia e ia tā rātou whakautu, ko ‘Eaheinomauwe’. Ākene pea i kī atu ngā Māori, ko He Mea-hī-nō-Māui, ko Te Ahi-a-Māui rānei – he kōrero mō Māui nāna te ahi i heri mai ki te ao, nāna hoki ngā puia o Te Ika-a-Māui.

The most common tradition tells how Māui fished up land from the sea. The North Island is called Te Ika-a-Māui (the fish of Māui), and takes the form of a giant stingray. When the explorer James Cook asked Māori the name of the North Island he wrote down ‘Eaheinomauwe’. He may have heard either He Mea-hī-nō-Māui (the things Māui fished up) or Te Ahi-a-Māui (the fires of Māui) – referring to Māui having brought fire to the world and the volcanic nature of much of the island. The South Island is Te Waka-a-Māui, the canoe from which Māui caught his prize. Rakiura (Stewart Island) is Te Punga-a-Māui, the canoe’s anchor stone.

Tuhawaiki does not seem to have been involved in the 1834 Ngai Tahu expedition to Cloudy Bay, which was led by Taiaroa and Te Whakataupuka. Soon after he succeeded to the leadership of southern Ngai Tahu, in 1835, Tuhawaiki was faced with a threat much closer to home. Te Puoho-o-te-rangi led a small war party of Ngati Tama down the West Coast, through the pass of Tiori-patea (Haast Pass) and into Murihiku in late 1836. News of this event reached Tuhawaiki at Awarua and he promptly sailed for Ruapuke to gather his men, then returned to attack Ngati Tama at Tuturau. Te Puoho was shot and his followers were taken into captivity.

One of the greatest stories of Māori literature recounts the fishing up of the North Island. It begins with Māui and his brothers setting off on a fishing expedition. The elder brothers did not want to take Māui, so he hid in the canoe and did not reveal himself until they were out at sea. When he emerged he managed to convince his brothers to row out to the deepest part of the ocean, where he cast a fish hook made from his grandmother’s jawbone. It sank below the waves and fastened to the underwater house of Tonganui, the grandson of Tangaroa, god of the sea. Māui hauled up his catch above the water. The land, the North Island, became known as Te Ika-a-Māui (the fish of Māui).

The German missionary Carl Völkner had been warned to stay away from Te Whakatōhea territory by local Māori after they began to suspect he was a government spy. In 1865 he was murdered at Ōpōtiki during the Hauhau disturbances. As punishment for the murder and to satisfy settler demand for land, 144,000 acres (58,000 hectares) of Te Whakatōhea land was confiscated under the New Zealand Settlements Act, 1863. Te Whakatōhea lost the coastline from Maraetōtara to the Waiaua River, and the sub-tribes were jammed into the Ōpape native reservation.

These methods were brought to New Zealand, where the Polynesian colonists quickly learned to adapt their planting regimes and techniques to the cooler climate. The growing season was restricted to the warmer months, and they added coarse sand and gravel to soil – probably to improve drainage, increase the temperature and extend the period of plant growth. This was particularly important from Marlborough south to Banks Peninsula (the southern limit of kūmara growing).

In March 1865 Reverend Carl Sylvius Völkner, an Anglican priest suspected by his Te Whakatōhea parishioners of being a government spy, was killed at Ōpōtiki. At the instigation of Kereopa Te Rau (a Pai Mārire missionary sent from Taranaki to enlist followers in the Bay of Plenty–East Coast area), Völkner was hanged not far from his church; his eyes were then scooped out and eaten. Kereopa then fled into Te Urewera. Despite their vehement denials and a lack of evidence of their presence at the killing of Völkner, Tūhoe were accused of involvement in the killing.

St Stephen’s Church in Ōpōtiki was completed and dedicated on 30 January 1864. On 1 March 1865, at the instigation of Hauhau extremists, the Reverend Carl Sylvius Völkner was put to death by members of his own congregation. Tūhoe were implicated, and it was one of the reasons used by the government to confiscate thousands of hectares of the most fertile Tūhoe lands. Tūhoe have always strenuously denied involvement in this incident.

Miria acted as Pomare's hostess, playing an active role in community organisations and, from 1911, working hard to further his political career. She also brought an independent income to the marriage. This meant that the couple could afford to build a gracious home, Hiwiroa, on seven acres of land at Lower Hutt with tennis courts and elaborate gardens, where they entertained in some style. Miria's inheritance was sufficient, with care, to meet their household needs. This meant that Maui could devote his parliamentary income to supporting his political ambitions and to fulfilling his constituents' expectations of generous hospitality and appropriate gift-giving. Maui and Miria Pomare had two sons and one daughter.

This fishing lure shank is made from the shell of a black-lipped pearl oyster, which only lives in the tropics. The shank was found in an archaeological site at Tairua on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is one of a very few existing items known to have been brought to New Zealand by early Polynesian arrivals. Māori adapted the trolling-lure shanks in New Zealand, using stone, bone and local shell instead of pearl-oyster shell.

The planning for the battle of El Alamein was now under way. Baker attended a conference on the proposed campaign and memorised the map details. At battalion headquarters he set up a sand tray, on which the battalion officers fought actions in preparation for the battle. Baker now demonstrated his attention to detail. The Maori Battalion was attached to a British brigade. The planning was careless and the locations of landmarks were inaccurate so that the force would have lined up over a mile south from where it should have been. Baker got his intelligence section to put down the starting-line tapes at the correct place. After considerable discussion he persuaded the other battalion commanders to move north into their correct positions. Half an hour into the assault Baker was seriously wounded. He was appointed an immediate DSO for his aggressive leadership and was invalided home. The wounds, to his mouth and tongue, were severe and he spent almost a year convalescing and undergoing surgery to restore his ability to speak. In his four months of command he had taken the battalion through a series of highly successful operations.
