Te Haki o te Whakaminenga o Ngā Hapū
Ko te ture ia o ngā whenua o te ao, ma whai haki motuhake ngā kaipuke o mea whenua, o mea whenua. Kāore kau he haki o Aotearoa taua wā. Nō te tau 1834 ka mauheretia tētahi kaipuke nō Aotearoa, i te kore haki. Nō te marama o Maehe i te tau 1834 ka karanga a Te Pūhipi i ngā rangatira kia huihui ki runga o Waitangi ki te whiriwhiri i te haki mō rātou. E toru ngā haki ka horahia ki mua i a rātou, ā, ka tapaina te haki i kōwhiritia ko te haki o Te Whakaminenga o Niu Tīreni. Ko te hiahia o Te Pūhipi, mā reira e pūpū ngā iwi kia kotahi.
