Abstract

[This chapter examines the commission’s records of confrontations between leaders and claimants in the investigation and appeals of these two blocks through to the establishment of the Urewera District Native Reserve in 1907. The obscured but crucial role of three Tūhoe rangatira and leaders of influential hapū begin to emerge: Te Whenuanui II of Te Urewera hapū centered in Ruatāhuna, Tutakangahau of Tamakaimoana hapū centered in Maungapōhatu, and Numia Kererū of Ngāti Rongo hapū centered in Ōhāua te Rangi and Rūātoki. In the case of Waikaremoana, it turns out that Numia was probably behind Tutakangahau’s claim that the northern part of that block was instead part of Maungapōhatu. Despite the collapse of Tutakangahau’s case, the legal limbo in which that area was left, and the rights that were nevertheless given to Tutakangahau’s descent group, the coordinated appeals by Te Whenuanui II and the migrant marriage alliance were never addressed by the appeals commission. Similarly in Ruatāhuna, Numia’s unresolved confrontation with Te Whenuanui II and the migrant marriage alliance regarding the relative rights of the ancestors Arohana and Kahuwı̄ over the Manawarū part of Ruatāhuna was ignored by the appeals commission only to be pursued later by Numia in the wake of Te Whenuanui II’s accidental death and an arrangement, by Numia, of his successor.]
