Once the main fighting in Whakaraupō was done Te Rakiwhakaputa moved on, but to ensure ahi kaa, he left his son Manuwhiri who built Te Pā Whakataka (near the current tennis courts in Governors Bay).Te Hapu is remote and private, it starts where the road ends. Māwete was a Ngāti Mamoe rangatira from Mānuka Pā. Ōmāwete (Coopers Knob) represents a rare recognition of the defeated enemy. ![]() ![]() Ōrongomai (Cass Peak) marks the place where Ngāi Tahu heard (whakarongo) Ngāti Mamoe who were based at Mānuka Pā on the Huritini / Halswell River (present day Old Tai Tapu road). Two hills at the head of Whakaraupō commemorate these Ngāi Tahu / Ngāti Mamoe contests. He also more strategically ensured his descendants’ manawhenua rights to this takiwā by marrying Hine-te-a-Wheka with Ngāti Mamoe whakapapa. The traditional story is that Te Rakiwhakaputa confirmed his take raupatu by casting his rāpaki (waist mat) on the beach and the kaika has ever since been known as Te Rāpaki o Te Rakiwhakaputa. Another major battle between Ngāi Tahu and Ngāti Mamoe was at Ōhinetahi, a pa site on the low ridge near the sea to the south of current Governor’s Bay. That battle was marked by naming the hills above Ōhinehou, Ōkete-upoko, a name which was still used in 1849 with signing of the Port Cooper Deed when Ngāi Tahu sold most of the Whakaraupō catchment to the British Crown. The Kati Kurī / Ngāi Tahu war party fought and defeated the resident manawhenua Ngāti Mamoe at Ōhinehou (now Lyttelton). Ko Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Mamoe me Waitaha hoki te iwi.Ībout the beginning of the 18th century, Te Rakiwhakaputa, a Ngāi Tahu rangatira toa of Kati Kuri descent, came up the harbour Whakaraupō – so named by Tamatea after the raupō which was then growing at the Head of the Harbour. Ko Te Rāpaki o Te Rakiwhakaputa te Marae Tamatea is usually associated with the first peoples in this rohe – Te Iwi Waitaha. Nearby, the distinctive cone-shaped hill which dominates Rāpaki is Te Poho o Tamatea. 1,000 years later Pākeha call that same hill Rāpaki Rock. This they did – though some fell to the ground at Te Whakatakanga-o-te-ngaheru-o-te-ahi-o-Tamatea (Hanmer Springs), it eventually arrived and the evidence can still be seen today at Te Ahi a Tamatea. His party’s fire sticks had gone out, so Tamatea recited the necessary karakia and called to his atua at Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngaruahoe to send him fire. On his trip back north from Murihiku, he stopped off in the hills above Rāpaki. 5.8 Ngā Tūtohu Whenua | Cultural LandscapesĬenturies before Columbus voyaged to the Americas, Tamatea-Pokai-Whenua was exploring Aotearoa.5.5 Tāne Mahuta | Biodiversity & Mahinga Kai.Wāhi Tuarima | 5: Regional Issues & Policy. ![]()
