Kōrero: Ngāti Porou

Hikurangi

Mt Hikurangi

Ko Hikurangi te maunga tapu o Ngāti Porou. E kī ana te kōrero, koinei te whenua tuatahi i puea ake i te hīnga ake a Māui i tana ika. E ai ki te Māori, kei runga tonu a Nukutaimemeha, te waka o Māui, i te tihi o Hikurangi. No te tekau tau atu i 1870 ka hokona e te kāwanatanga te maunga. Nō muri ka hurihia hei ngahere o te kāwanatanga. Nō te marama o Nōema o te tau 1990 ka haina e te Karauna me te iwi tētahi whakaritenga, ka whakahokia a Hikurangi me ngā heketea e 3,780 ki te iwi. I tēnei wā ko te iwi kei te whakahaere i te whenua me ngā tāngata ka hiahia kia piki i te maunga.

The Ngatiporpou runganga does not have the mandate to settle land claims on behalf of Ruawaipu,Uepohatu and Te Hautiti a Aitanga they do not own the land . In 2012 the government put through a act in parliament stopping the waitangi tribunal from looking further into the claims of Ruawaipu descendants.The identity of Ruawaipu was lost after the 1865 East Coast wars when all the marae's and pa's were burnt down.When Rawiri Katea Koiauriterangi signed te tiriti of Waitangi the maori version not the (treaty of waitangi there are two versions) he did not concede soverntity over Ruawaipu lands foreshore or seabed.
