Ko Hineamaru te tupunaKo Taumarere te awaKo Ngati Hine te iwi

Ngati Hine Pukepukerau

In 1887, tupuna Maihi Paraone Kawiti made severalproclamations, some of which were recorded in TePapatupu books.

We begin our presentation with a whakatauki Maihitook from the Bible. We assume that he used thisparticular whakatauki to caution his people in anyconsultation with Governments...

Ki te noho kourua ko te rangatira ki te kai tahi,ata whakaaroa marietia, nga mea i tou aroaro.Nga Whakatauki 23.1.2

“If you sit down to eat with a Sovereign, consider wellwhat is before you”.Proverbs 23.1.2

The following three proclamations illustrate Maihi’sintention for how his Ngati Hine people wouldconduct themselves rather than be governed byothers. The proclamations speak of our mana, ourtino rangatiratanga and our tikanga and how theytie us to the lands of Ngati Hine...

“Ko to matou mana me to matourangatiratanga me a matou tikanga katoa,koia ka herea nei o matou whenua i tenei rai te 9 o nga ra o Aperira, 1887”

“Our Authority, our sovereignty and all our customs wehereby secure to our lands on this 9th day of April 1887”

Ko ta matou whakahaere tenei, ko ta enei uri oHineamaru e noho nei i raro o enei puke e rua, oMotatau o Hikurangi, kua oti hoki te whakatauki,tu te ao tu te po, kia rite hoki ki te korero o teture nui o Ingarangi

“This is how we intend to act, these descendants ofHineamaru, who reside beneath these two hills ofMotatau and Hikurangi, of whom it is said, standsboth day and night, in concordance with that which issaid are the great laws of England”.

“Ko te tino tikanga kia kotahi tonu whakahaere a te Maori.Kaua e rere ke atu i runga i te tikanga. Me titiro ki teupoko, ko Hineamaru te pou hei herenga, hei pupuri hokii te tikanga a nga uri o Hineamaru mo te whenuapapatupu, apiti iho ko te whakakotahitanga a nga uri oHineamaru”

“The intention is that Maori conduct themselves with single purpose. That itshould not vary in practice. When you look to its head the figure that binds,is Hineamaru. She is the repository of all customary practice, which thedescendants of Hineamaru might utilise in respect of these customary lands.And thereby ingrain the unanimity of Hineamaru descendants”

TE ROHE WHENUA O NGATI HINE:– Pertains mainly to the land blocks known as Motatau 1 to 5

TE POROWINI O NGATI HINE (THE PROVINCE OF NGATI HINE):

- Lands which Maihi Kawiti identified as places in which Ngati Hine sharedcommon interest with other Iwi and hapu

Te Porowini o Ngati Hine

I rohetia e Maihi i tenei takiwa heiRohe Tangata mo Ngati Hine i tetau 1878:

“Hikurangi titiro ki Pouerua, Poueruatitiro ki Rakaumangamanga,Rakaumangamanga titiro ki Manaia,Manaia titiro ki Whatitiri, Whatitirititiro ki Tutamoe, Tutamoe titiro ki teTarai o Rahiri, Te Tarai o Rahiri titiroki Hikurangi ki nga Kiekie whawhanuia Uenuku.

‘This area was identified by MaihiKawiti as the ‘Te Porowini o NgatiHine’ or the ‘Province of NgatiHine’.

TE RUNANGA O NGATI HINE• 1887 Maihi Kawiti established aRunanga to provide political andoperational leadership for Ngati Hine

•In 1989 Ngati Hine registered theRunanga under the Maori CommunityDevelopment Act 1962 and created aCharitable Trust.
