Te Manihera Te Ikahaehae
Te Manihera Te Ikahaehae was a Māori Anglican Lay-preacher from the Ngāti Maru of Taranaki iwi. He converted to Anglicanism in the 1850s. He was responsible for bringing the Bell of Purangi from Whanganui to Taranaki. Prior to his conversion, his name was simply Te Ikahaehae. Te Manihera was a post baptismal name given to him in remembrance of CMS clergy, Rev. Maunsell. Later in life, he was known to have reverted to his original name Te Ikahaehae or shortened to Te Ika. His descendants used Teika as their surname. There was an earlier "Te Manihera". His pre-baptism name was Poutama - a chief of the Tangahoe hapu of Ngati Ruanui. This earlier "Te Manihera" was killed in Taupo in March 1847 and was subsequently martyred. He was however, a man quite distinct from Te Manihera Te Ikahaehae.

Māori People
Māori () are the Indigenous peoples of Oceania, indigenous Polynesians, Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from East Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of Māori migration canoes, canoe voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350. Over several centuries in isolation, these settlers developed Māori culture, a distinct culture, whose language, mythology, crafts, and performing arts evolved independently from those of other eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early Māori moved to the Chatham Islands, where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group, the Moriori. Early contact between Māori and Europeans, starting in the 18th century, ranged from beneficial trade to lethal violence; Māori actively adopted many technologies from the newcomers. With the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted for a generation. Rising ten ...

Ngāti Maru (Taranaki)
Ngāti Maru or Te Iwi o Maruwharanui is a Māori iwi of inland Taranaki in New Zealand. They are descended from Maruwharanui, the eldest son of Pito Haranui and his wife Manauea. Pito Haranui belonged to an ancient Taranaki people known as the Kāhui-Maru, whose genealogy predates the arrival of Toi. The main hapu of Ngāti Maru (which also comprise smaller sections) are Ngāti Hinemōkai (includes Ngāti Rongonui), Ngāti Kōpua (includes Ngāti Tamatāpui and Ngāriki) and Ngāti Kui (includes Ngāti Te Ika and Ngāti Tamakehu). Te Upoko o te Whenua Marae is the iwi's marae at Tarata. Ngarongo is the name of the whare puni (meeting house) and the whare kai (dining hall) is named Maruwharanui. Ancestry Maruwharanui had three siblings – a younger brother, Marukōpiri, who settled at Manganui-o-te-Ao, near Raetihi, and two sisters, Mihi-Rawhiti and Hinepango. It is surmised that Maruwharanui was contemporary with the arrival of the Hawaiki people in the 1300s. This is judge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Richard Taylor, Missionary of the Whanganui district. He placed the charge of the bell with Himiona Te Kapiti, a Maori layreader. At the time, Himiona lived on the upper reaches of the Whanganui river and was mainly responsible for the extension of Christianity in those districts. From Himiona the bell passed into the hands of Te Manihera Te Ikahaehae, also a layreader, of the Ngāti Maru. The bell was first used at Te Po ...
