Koinei te kaitōrangapū Kōtimana, kōrero Māori hoki a Te Mākarini i kei te taha whakararo o tēnei pikitia ki te taha mauī, kei tētahi hui ki Ahuriri i te takiwā o te tau 1863. I taua tau ka whakatūria koia hei kaihoko whenua mō te kāwanatanga ki te rohe o Te Matau-a-Māui, ā, e toru tau i muri mai ka noho koia te Mema Pāremata mō taua rohe. I te tau 1867 ka hangaia e ia te ture i waihangatia ai ngā tūru Māori e whā ki te Pāremata. I whakapono a Te Mākarini tērā ka kāwana tahitia te Māori ki raro i ngā ture kotahi o te Pākehā me te whai wāhi ki ngā painga katoa o te Pākehā.
