New Zealand -- Description and travel
PARATENE TE MANU, chief of the Ngatiwai tribe.
TUKUKINO, head chief of the Ngatitematera, was one of the
principal Hauhau leaders during the war, and one of the most active
obstructionists to European Settlement. He is at present one of the
most aged natives in New Zealand.
TE RAIA NGAKUTU TE TUMUHUIA, chief of the Ngatitematera tribe,
was the last of the New Zealand cannibals. He attacked a _pa_ at
Katikati, in 1842, belonging to the Ngatiterangi, defeated the powerful
chief Te Whanake, and feasted his own followers upon the slain.
TE KOOTI is well known as the great Hauhau leader during
the war. He is a man of singular intelligence, and still exercises a
widespread influence over the tribes. He was sent as a prisoner of war,
with other natives, to the Chatham Islands, and his escape from that
inhospitable region with his followers, together with his massacre
of the settlers at Poverty Bay, form one of the most remarkable and
stirring events connected with the campaign.
LIST OF THE NEW ZEALAND TRIBES, WITH THEIR LOCALITIES.
These tribes, which constitute the principal divisions of the Maori
race, are all subdivided into _hapus_, or tribal families, bearing
often a different appellation to that of the parent tribe, to which,
however, each _hapu_ claims a direct relationship.
