Hāuauru, Raukawa, and West coast, has Hotuope and Hotuāwhio as siblings. In fact King Mahuta'a memorial does not list Hotuāwhio. For some reason Pei's book has Hotuāwhio in his posthumous Tainui book, but does not account for his different position in a letter to the editor of Te Ao Hou in September, 1961 about this issue, and that his parents whakapapa book did not include it. There was a meeting held in 1950 about "...opposition...", and that King Mahuta and King Te Rata have both written differently on their memorial stones. Paahi Moke refuted both Kelly and Pei.

It is not universally accepted in Tainui that Hotuawhio was the son of Hotuope although that is the common view in Waikato and parts of Maniapoto. Some of the very senior whakapapa experts in Tainui sometimes show them as brothers.

I was also wondering about Hotuawhio, I see it missing everywhere and second thought myself, and saw the previous comment..

Hello, Why is Hotuawhio, not listed after Hotuope?
