MURDER OF KUMETE AND TE MAUMUTU (nga-ti-maru) Some of our people - TopicsExpress



          

MURDER OF KUMETE AND TE MAUMUTU (nga-ti-maru) Some of our people went to Ka-wehi-tiki and then Kumete was killed. They afterwards went to Matamata and then Te-Maumutu was killed. This district belongs to Nga-ti-maru. Those were the ancient tribes to whom it belongs, viz: Nga-ti-hue and Nga-ti-kopiri-mau. These are all that I am clear about. When I said it belonged to Nga-ti-maru, I meant that Nga-ti-hue and Nga-ti-kopiri-mau were conquered by Nga-ti-maru. My ancestor Maru-tuahu took part in that conquest. Maru-tuahu is the name of a man. Te Ruinga was the ancestor who made this conquest. These two whom I have mentioned are both ancestors of Nga-ti-maru. I cannot trace my genealogy from Te Ruinga. The Maru-tuahu conquered that land and held it until the time of the battle of Taumata-wiwi.
