          We have great admiration for the Pākehā expert who painted these images so that they may be viewed by the future generations as an example of what the Māori of old looked like. We sincerely hope the day will come when Māori will acquire this skill as it seems very much akin to the carving work of the Māori, from Kuini WI Rangipupu of Ngāti Ruanui, Hawera, Taranaki and Rangitopeora of Te Atiawa Taranaki

    Tena rawa atu koe Te Pikikotuku. Kai te tika tau. Aroha mai. While the comment is incorrect -as you have rightly pointed out- it is an historic comment recorded in the pukapuka manuhiri in 1902. I will attach a note to our records for Rewi Manga Maniapoto, noting your korero.

  • Te Pikikotuku - N'Maniapoto

    At 12pm on 2 July 2010

    I note in gallery visitors book a comment about Tupotahi being a brother to Manga Maniapoto. see following extract...... "Mei 24 (1902) Tupotahi Tukorehu (memo - brother of Rewi Manga Maniapoto) Kihikihi " For your information, Tupotahi and Manga were in fact cousins not brothers. Their grandfathers were half brothers....
