Hariata Rongo

 Early Life:

Hongi, Hariata, 1815-1894, Rongo, Harriet, 1815-1894, Rongomai, Hariata, 1815-1894

Born in 1815. Daughter of Hongi Hika. Married Hone Heke Pokai in Kerikeri chapel on 30 Mar 1837. There were no children from this marriage. She was a forceful character, inheriting much of her father's drive and self-confidence. Hariata had lived for some years with the family of James Kemp, a CMS missionary. Married later on Arama Karaka Pi (d 1872), whom she also survived as his widow. She died 9 Jan 1894 at Kaikohe, Northland.

What she did?

Daughter of famous Ngāpuhi chief Hongi Hika and his senior wife Turikatuku. 

For a number of years Rongo lived with James and Charlotte Kemp, who were with the Church Missionary Society in Kerikeri. When her father got sick she nursed him until his death. Rongo then attended the Mission School for Māori Girls at Kerikeri. Here she became literate in both languages. With her whakapapa and intelligence, she was equal to some men and superior to many: He wahine toa ia.

 

In March 1837, Rongo (then going by the Christian name Hariata Rongo) married Ngāpuhi warrior leader Hōne Heke in the Kerikeri Chapel. Hōne Heke soon after became famous for his stand against the British authorities.

 

With a good education from the missionaries, Rongo served as Hōne Heke's secretary and scribe and was active throughout the treaty war of 1845, supporting her husband in the field and acting as a conduit between him and his enemy, the pro-British warrior Tāmati Wāka Nene. Some scholars believe there is evidence that some of the correspondence was written by Rongo.

 

 

Hongi Hika Minibiography

 Early Life:

Hongi Hika was born near Kaikohe, in northern New Zealand: he told French explorers in 1824 that he had been born in the year of Marion du Fresne's death, which was in 1772; and he was a mature man at the height of his powers when he died in 1828. He was the third son of Te Hōtete, born of his second wife, Tuhikura, of Ngāti Rēhia. He was descended through nine generations from Rāhiri, the ancestor of Ngāti Rāhiri, who was in turn descended from Puhi-moana-ariki, the ancestor of Ngāpuhi. In addition to Ngāti Rāhiri and Ngāti Rēhia he was most closely associated with Ngāti Tautahi and Ngāi Tāwake.

His Career:

The defeat of Ngāpuhi by Ngāti Whātua in the battle of Moremonui, at Maunganui Bluff, in 1807 or 1808, was an important event in Hongi's early life. Pōkaia, the uncle of Hōne Heke, had been at war with Te Roroa and two closely related Ngāti Whātua hapū for a long period. Although some Ngāpuhi were armed with muskets, Murupaenga, leader of Ngāti Whātua, successfully ambushed them, taking advantage of the time they needed to reload their weapons. Pōkaia was killed, together with the fathers of Te Whareumu, Manu (Rewa) and Te Koikoi, and two of Hongi's brothers. Hongi and Te Koikoi saved themselves by hiding in a swamp. At nightfall they and a handful of others were able to escape. After this battle Hongi appears to have succeeded Pōkaia as war leader. These experiences left Hongi with an obligation and strong personal wish to avenge the Ngāpuhi defeat. In campaigns against Te Roroa, Te Rarawa and Te Aupōuri in the north he became convinced of the usefulness of the new muskets, if employed in sufficient numbers. By 1815 Hongi was the undisputed leader of his people. His oldest brother, Kaingaroa, born to their father's first wife, Waitohirangi, died in that year.

Tamaiti Waka Nene Minibiography

 Early Life:

Nene was born probably in the 1780s. He was the second son of

Tapua, leader and tohunga of Ngāti Hao of Hokianga, and the younger brother of

Patuone, the inheritor of their father's mana. By descent and marriage this family was

connected to many of the major chiefs of Hokianga, Whangaroa, the Bay of Islands

and other places. Through his mother, Te Kawehau, he was related to Hongi Hika, and

also to the brothers Rewa (Manu), Moka and Te Wharerahi. His sister Tari married

Te Wharerahi. Nene could trace his descent from Rāhiri, ancestor of Ngāpuhi, through a

number of lines.

His Career:

In early manhood Nene began to distinguish himself as a war leader. He may have

fought his first battle around 1800, helping Te Hōtete, the father of Hongi Hika, avenge

the sack of his pā Ōkuratope, at Waimate North, by Ngare Raumati, the people of

Te Rāwhiti in the Bay of Islands. Thereafter Nene would have taken part in a series of

battles involving Te Roroa, Ngāpuhi and his own people. These conflicts left a

number of unresolved issues; some Māori believed that they led Nene to oppose

Hōne Heke in the northern war of the 1840s.

Hone Heke Mini Biography

 Born: 1807, Pakaraka

Died: 7 August 1850, Kaikohe

Spouse: Hariata Rongo (m. 1837–1850)

Children: Hoani, Marianne

Parents: Te Kona, Tupanapana

Who is Hone Heke?

Heke, a Christian, had a close relationship

with missionary Henry Williams, and, at the signing

of the Treaty in 1840, he believed Williams' assurances

that the authority of Māori chiefs would be protected.

'Governor,' he told Hobson, 'you should stay with us and be like a father.

If you go away, then the French and the rum sellers will take us Māori over.'

The following day, he was the first of more than 40 northern chiefs to sign

(although his signature is fourth, those of more senior chiefs having

later been inserted ahead of his).

Four years later, disillusioned by the failure of colonisation to bring his people

economic prosperity and by the increasing control of the British government over

Māori affairs, Heke ordered the cutting down of the flagpole at the British settlement of

Kororāreka (which had recently been renamed Russell). This was intended to show

displeasure at the British government without threatening Pākehā settlers.

Over the following months, the flagpole was re-erected and cut down again three times.

The final felling, in March 1845, signalled war between British troops and some northern Māori.

His early life?

Heke was probably born around 1808. He came under the influence

of missionaries as a teenage student at the Kerikeri Mission School.

He was baptised a Christian in 1835 and took on the name Hone (John).

He has strong friendships with the missionaries, especially Henry Williams,

for much of his adult life.

Treaty Of Waitangi

 What is the Treaty Of Waitangi?

The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s founding document. 

It takes its name from the place in the Bay of Islands where it 

was first signed in 1840 and was an agreement between the British 

Crown and a large number of Māori chiefs. 

Today the Treaty is widely accepted to be a constitutional document 

that establishes and guides the relationship between the Crown in 

New Zealand and Māori.

The Treaty promised to protect Māori culture and to enable Māori 

to continue to live in New Zealand as Māori. 

 

At the same time, the Treaty gave the Crown the right to govern 

New Zealand and to represent the interests of all New Zealanders.

While the Treaty is widely seen as a constitutional document, its status

 in New Zealand law is less than settled. At the moment, Treaty rights can 

only be enforced in a court of law when a statute or an Act explicitly refers to the Treaty.

Why is the Treaty Of Waitangi important in New Zealand history?

The Treaty governs the relationship between Māori and everyone else and ensures

 the rights of both Māori and Pakeha are protected. It does that by:

• accepting that Māori Tribes have the right to organize themselves, protect their 
• way of life, and to control the resources they own
• requiring the Government to act reasonably and in good faith towards Māori
• making the Government responsible for helping to address grievances
• establishing equality and the principle that all New Zealanders are equal
•  under the law.

Extra Facts:

Treaty in action:

The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's founding document.

The principles of the Treaty are referred to in several Acts of Parliament. 

It is an important part of the New Zealand education system and how New Zealanders work.

Applying the Treaty influences life in New Zealand in many ways.

Parliament

Māori representation in Parliament is guaranteed with reserved seats - currently, there are seven.

 Many Māori is also Members of Parliament via ‘general’ electorates.

Waitangi Tribunal

There is a Waitangi Tribunal that researches and makes legal decisions on 

cases where Māori land and other resources were taken illegally or unfairly in the past. 

Quite often this results in large settlements for tribes, including cash and land.

Many iwis are putting these settlements to good use building major commercial enterprises - often 

becoming important employers in the process.

Some Waitangi Tribunal settlements do not only benefit Māori. For example, a lot of work 

has been done to restore Auckland’s western harbor from waste and sewage despoliation after 

Māori living in the area lodged what is known as the Manukau claim.

Toke Talagi

 Born-9 January 1951-Alofi, Niue

Died-15 July 2020 Alofi, Niue

Early life:Talagi was born in Alofi and was educated at

Tufukia School in Niue and Nelson College in New Zealand.

He studied at Massey University in Palmerston North, where he

completed a Bachelor of Agricultural Science.

Career:Sir Toke Tufukia Talagi was a Niuean politician, diplomat,

and statesman. He served as Premier of Niue from 2008 to 2020.

In 1999, he was elected to go to the Niue Assembly as an Independent.

He was elected premier in the 2008 general election defeating the standing premier,

Young Vivian, by fourteen votes to five, with one abstaining. He is the current Foreign

Minister of Niue.

Sir Toke Talagi also made a book called Niue Rising:

Description:

This is a biography of Sir Toke Tufukia Talagi and his life

from a small island in the Pacific to a knight of the realm.

It covers his life work and his experiences as a businessman

and into politics and the premiership. He was a reluctant politician

and didn't have any plans to be the premier. It was accidental. He was

more interested in continuing to build his business and make $1 million.

My Thoughts:

Overall I think Sir Toke Tufukia Talagi was a good person and a very good

Niuean politician with a lot of experience because four entire terms of leading

a country and bringing it to the forefront wouldn’t be easy.
