Kia tae ki te tau 1872, kua kore te kaha o Ngāi Tūhoe, nā ngā pakanga me ngā mahi kino a te kāwanatanga ki te patu i nga tāngata, te raupatu i te whenua, te pāhua i ngā kāinga, ngā taonga, ngā kai a te iwi. Kāore tonu te iwi i rata ki ngā mahi a te Karauna. He reta tēnei nā Te Whitu Tekau e whakatakoto ana i te rohe pōtae o Ngāi Tūhoe me ngā tikanga ka whai ake; kaua te rūri, kaua te rori, kaua te rīhi, kaua te hoko.
