Te whakapapa o Te Arawa

Te Arawa genealogy

I whānau mai a Ohomairangi i te moenga o Pūhaorangi te tipuna heke ā-rangi rāua ko Te Kuraimonoa. E ono whakapaparanga i muri mai, kei te pakanga ngā iwi o Rangiātea i Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. Nō tēnei āhuatanga ka arahina e Tamatekapua tōna iwi ki Te Ika-a-Māui.

Kia Ora Could you please send me any information you may have on Maraetae, or Maraetaea. His name comes up in different areas around the north Island (Maraetae geothermal power stations etc) Especially any whakapapa which is what I am after at this time so we can connect with what I have at the moment. I am a descendant. Thankyou. Nga mihi George Wast

Kia ora Beatrice, thank you for your comment. We have been in touch with Professor Paul Tapsell who says the whakapapa provided was deliberately abridged as practiced by his elders when sharing this knowledge in a public forum.

The above genealogy is not correct, it goes from Ohomairangi, Ruamuturangi, Taunga, Mawake, Uruika, Rangitapu, Atuamatua, Houmaitawhiti, Tamatekapua. Please correct it
