237

Hohepa Tamaihengia, Ngatitoa Chief at Porirua.—Light Green Stone, 'Mere Pounamu.'

The Native name of this Stone is called 'Taluramon,' and formerly belonged to Ngaitahu tribe. In an engagement between the Ngaitahu and Ngatitoa tribes, 'To Puoho,' a great Chief of the Ngatitoa, and uncle to 'Hohepa Tamaihengia,' took it from a Ngaitahu Native named 'Maru,' whose life 'Te Puoho' saved, but used the Mere in killing some of 'Maru's' people. Another engagement took place at Te Aunui, between the Ngaitahu and Ngatitoas, when 'To Puoho' was killed by a gun-shot, and the Ngaitahu retook the 'Mere Taturamoa'; and several years afterwards 'Haeieroa,' a page 24 Ngaitahu Chief, gave it to 'Hohepa Tamaihengia,' being the nearest relative to 'To Puoho.' 'Hohepa,' in return, presented him with a horse.

238Hohepa Tamaihengia, Ngatitoa Chief at Porirua—The 'Taiaha,' long war stick, decorated with kaka's feathers, and hairs of dogs' tails. Bears the name of 'Tokotokokorotoheke.' Has been used in many engagements, and formerly belonged to Te Matiu Moko, when he died it fell into the hands of Hohepa Tamaihengia. This 'Taiaha' is upwards of 30 years old.
239

Hohepa Tamaihengia, Ngatitoa Chief, at Porirua—The 'Waliaika.' 'Peruperu' is the name of the other long war club, and has been used in many engagements. The canoe and club have been made for more than thirty years. The canoe was made for great chiefs' sons to paddle in at their pleasure.

The mats have been made within the last few years.

Lot 2.

240Waitaoro.—2 Bordered Mats, 'Parawai.'
241Waitaoro.—1 Dogskin Mat, 'Shupuni.'
242

Waitaoro.—1 Green Stone, 'Mere Pounamu.'

Green Stone, 'Mere Pounamu.'—The Native name is 'Kokopu.' 'Toheroa' was the owner of this stone, but it was taken from the Ngatiapa tribe by 'Toheroa's' son in an engagement between the Ngatitoa and Ngatiapas. Young 'Tohcroa' requested that the man from whom the 'Mere' was taken should be killed; but old 'Toheroa' interceded, and saved the man's life, and kept him for a slave. It has been used in several engagements: and many a Native has been killed by it. There is a small flaw in it, which was done in breaking a Maori's skull. It has been broken, but cemented together again—therefore requires delicate handling.

The mats have been made within the last few years.

243

Oriwia 'Te Hurumutu,' daughter of Te Pehi, a great Chief of the Ngatitoa tribe.

Green Stone Mere, Native name, 'Uru.' Belonged to Pehi, one of the great Chiefs of the Ngatitoa tribe, and was presented to him by one of the Chiefs of Ngaitahu Tainaiharanui, as a decoy for him to go into the Pah of Ngaitahu, which he did, and they wilfully murdered him. The Mere was left to Te Hiko O te Rangi, son of Te Pehi, who kept it until his death, and Oriwia, sister to Te Hiki O te Rangi, has it now.

This Mere has been used in several engagements, and many a man's life has been taken with it.

244

Oriwia 'Te Hurumutu,' daughter of Te Pehi, a great Chief of the Ngatitoa tribe.

Whalebone Mere, bears the name of 'Tupuniorangi.' Was also Pehi's, and has been used in several engagements, it was brought from Waikato, and belonged originally to Te Waharoa, father of the present William Thompson Tarapipipi Te Waharoa, leader of the King Movement. It was taken from Te Waharoa, Chief of the Ngatihana tribe, in an engagement between them and the Ngatitoa tribe, who wore the conquerors. Old Te Waharoa fled to save his life. This Mere has been used to take many a man's life.

The mats have been made within the last, few years.

Wise, A.—Prow of Maori Canoe (old).

This trophy was taken from the Ngatiawas in an engagement upwards of thirty years ago. The broken part on the edge was broken by a collision in a race of war canoes before the whole of the carving had been completed.
