Abstract

[This chapter traces details of the confrontation between the Te Whenuanui II’s supporters in the migrant marriage alliance and Numia Kererū’s demand for rights in the Manawarū section of Ruatāhuna that arose in 1902 but remained silent and unaddressed in the 1907 appeals. In 1908 Numia was selected by other Tūhoe leaders as chairperson of the UDNR General Committee. By 1912 he successfully proposed the partition of Ruatāhuna block before the Native Appellate Court and, winning the confidence of the chief judge, negotiated its completion with leaders of the several hapū involved. By this time only the most prestigious of the five descent groups comprising the Ruatāhuna-Waikaremoana migrant marriage alliance continued to oppose Numia’s request to partition Manawarū between descendants of Arohana for Te Urewera hapū, and descendants of Kahuwı̄ for Ngāti Rongo hapū. Nevertheless, their case collapsed in the face of Numia’s argument, apparently even leaving his sometimes unfounded charges unanswered.]
