Published Te Karere Māori, 1857, Vol 3, No. 1, p. 7 TE HEMONGA O TAURUA TE TAWAROA Nui atu te panga o te pouri ki te ngakau mo te matenga o te rangatira o Te Patukirikiri, e noho ana ki Waiau, a Taurua Te Tawaroa Makuini. Ko to matou hoa ka mate nei no te whakatupuranga tangata e piri ana ki te taha Maori, whakawhirinaki ana ia ki runga ki nga tikanga o nga tupuna, no konei pea i karangatia ai e nga Pakeha ko Te Ruruhi Makutu. Otiia, he nui tona whakahoatanga ki nga Pakeha katoa, a, nui atu tona hiahia kia piri nga whakaaro ki runga ki te kawanatanga o tenei whenua. Kua nui te kite o te kaituhituhi o tenei pukapuka i nga mahi o Taurua, a, e whakaaro ana ia ko nga tikanga katoa o tenei wahine rangatira i kitea e ia, i haere i runga i te pai. I te huihuinga nui i Patapata i Waiau mo te koura, ko nga korero o tenei kuia rangatira i waiho hei mea ahuareka mo te tokomaha; otira, kahore i pera te tika o te whakaaro o te tokomaha ki runga ki te kawanatanga me ta Taurua. Ko te...

The following extract was taken from an article entitled 'THE TIPUA-KURA, AND OTHER MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT WORLD.' by Lieut.-Colonel Gudgeon, C.M.G. It was published in Journal of the Polynesian Society, Volume 15, 1906, pp 27-57. ...Papakauri is an enchanted tree, whose history is even more mysterious than that of Papataunaki, related in a previous article. It is, moreover, surrounded by such a web of superstition of a truly unexplainable nature that it will be difficult to make myself intelligible to Europeans. I am, indeed, conscious that the pakeha side of my brain does not understand the tale as related to me, whereas on the Maori side it is clear enough. I think I have already remarked that tipuas are an exception to the rule, that all things are subject to the great laws that govern the universe. Tipuas obey no law, whether human or divine, but are somewhat amenable to karakias when uttered by a tohunga of reputation. With this preliminary warning, I will commence ...

Here is a map taken from the Journal of the Polynesian Society, that shows some interesting names and locations. Unfortunately, there are few errors - the area about present day Thames township is Ngāti Maru territory. The area immediately to the north and along the coast is a takiwā  of Ngāti Tamaterā (Waikawau block). The area of land labelled 'Ngāti Tamaterā' is part of the Ngāti Pāoa rohe adjoining Ngāti Maru adjacent to the Waihou River. Taken from 'Pare Hauraki and Pare Waikato' by George Graham in Journal of the Polynesian Society, Volume 58, No.2, 1949, pp. 68-76. http://www.jps.auckland.ac.nz/document?wid=2520&page=0&action=searchresult&target=

Here is an extract from an article by George Graham concerning whāngai. He recounts a story pertaining to Kahupeka, a well known kuia of Kaiaua. 'A granddaughter was born unto a Ngati Whanaunga chief of fame of recent times. His ohahi was that the girl was to be an ingoa (namesake) for him. The name indicated was “Kahupeka,” his grandmother's name.  In due course he, in Maori customary way, bestowed a piece of land (tukua he whenua) as an abiding-place for his ingoa. Her family settled down there, built their houses, fenced and cultivated the land for some years. However, the old gentleman without prior reference to his ingoa's parents, sold that land to a Pakeha. This act was regarded as kohuru (treachery), and wiped out all respect for his ohaki.  First destroying all the houses by fire, chopping down the fruit trees, fencing, etc., they vacated the land, leaving a curse thereon. They migrated to another place where forgetting not, they forgave not.  Later the...

The following extracts were taken from the 1893 and the 1907 editions of the King Movement newspaper entitled Te Paki o Matariki. These extracts list the various mountains throughout both the North and South Islands that were pledged as 'post' (pou) for the house of the King and the King Movement. Both lists include four maunga from Hauraki and their respective iwi as follows: Moehau, Ngāti Tamaterā Kohukohunui, Ngāti Whanaunga Rātāroa, Ngāti Pāoa Te Aroha-a-uta, Ngāti Maru, Ngāi Te Rangi Te Aroha-a-tai, Hauraki Moehau is the large peak at the northern end of the Coromandel Peninsula and Kohukohunui is the highest peak in the Hūnua Ranges, western Hauraki. Rātāroa is located near Waitakaruru, at the southern of the Hūnua Ranges, and Te Aroha is the maunga located adjacent to modern day Te Aroha.
