Huriawa Peninsula
Huriawa, commonly known as Huriawa Peninsula or Karitane Peninsula, is a headland on the coast of Otago, New Zealand. It is located 35 kilometres north of Dunedin city centre, immediately to the southeast of the settlement of Karitane. The peninsula is steep and rocky, and stretches east for approximately 1000 metres from the mainland at the mouth of the Waikouaiti River. At its narrowest, the isthmus connecting it with Karitane is only some 90 metres in width. The name ''huriawa'' is a Māori term meaning "turning river"; the Waikouaiti River, which now flows to the sea to the north of the peninsula, formerly entered the sea to the peninsula's south. The southern, ocean coast of the peninsula is lined with sheer cliffs, and includes several rock pinnacles and blowholes. The northern, estuary coast is less rugged, but still steep. The opposite bank of the river is the large sandspit which forms the southern end of Waikouaiti Beach.Hamel, A. (2008) ''Dunedin tracks and trails.'' Du ...

Te Wera Hauraki
Te Wera Hauraki (?–1839) a '' rangatira'' (chieftain) of the Ngāti Hineira and Te Uri Taniwha hapū of the Ngāpuhi iwi from the Northland region of New Zealand. From about 1818 to 1821, Te Wera went on expeditions and fought battles in the Bay of Plenty and the East Coast. In 1823, he was one of the leaders of the Ngāpuhi attack which defeated Te Arawa at Mokoia island on Lake Rotorua. Following the attack, Te Wera and his wife, Te Ao-kapurangi, negotiated a peace that prevented Ngāpuhi from taking further action against Te Arawa. After the conclusion of peace, he continued east and settled at Māhia Peninsula in Hawke's Bay, where he allied with Te Whareumu of Ngāti Rakaipaaka and Ngāti Hikairo and Te Pareihe of Ngāti Te Whatuiāpiti, helping them to fight off incursions from other tribes, especially Ngāti Te Ūpokoiri and Ngāti Raukawa. He remained at Māhia until his death in 1839. Early life Hauraki was the son of Kaiteke or Kaitara, a leader of Ngāti Hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Penetana Papahurihia
Penetana Papahurihia (died 1875), also called Te Atua Wera ("the fiery God"), was a Māori tohunga, war leader and prophet. He belonged to Ngā Puhi, by way of the Te Hikutu and Ngāti Hau hapū. In 1833, he founded a religious cult called Te Nakahi around the Bay of Islands and Omanaia, and later served as a spiritual advisor to Hone Heke. Early life Papahurihia's early life is uncertain, but his parents were allegedly matakite (seers), capable of divination and teleportation. It is possible that he attended the Anglican missions at Rangihoua, where he learned to read and developed his understanding of the Bible. The historical record first attests to him in 1833 when Richard Davis, a missionary from Te Waimate mission, encountered his followers at Taiamai. He was later told by the chief Te Morenga that the people of Taiamai had begun to worship a God called Papahurihia. A year later, Henry Williams gave the first description of their beliefs, which had spread along the K ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
