Two Māori women with slave girl

E tū ana ngā wāhine tokorua Māori me tētahi kōtiro i te tau 1838. E ai ki ngā hopukanga ko 'Amoko' me 'Eana', e 25 tau tā rāua pakeke, ā, e 13 tau te pakeke o 'Hepee'. Ko Amoko te tamāhine a tētahi rangatira, ka mutu ko Hepee he taurekareka nāna. Ko te āhua nei kua hurihia ngā ingoa kia hāngai ā-mihinare.
