Mananui Te Heuheu Tūkino II (died 7 May 1846) was a New Zealand Māori people, Māori tribal leader of the Ngāti Tūwharetoa iwi. The eldest son of Herea Te Heuheu Tukino I and his first wife, Rangiaho of Ngāti Maniapoto, Mananui was born in Pamotumotu, King Country, near the Mangatutu Stream and was the second of the Te Heuheu line to assume the leadership of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Mananui traced his ancestry to Tama-te-kapua, commander of Arawa (canoe), Te Arawa canoe, and to its priest, Ngatoro-i-rangi. He was distantly related to Potatau Te Wherowhero of Waikato and Te Rauparaha of Ngāti Toa. He belonged to Ngāti Pehi (now Ngāti Turumakina), Ngāti Hukere and Ngāti Hinewai hapū, and in his youth lived at Pamotumotu. Mananui led Ngāti Tūwharetoa in war against other tribes, including a Ngāti Maru–Ngati Tūwharetoa War, war with Ngāti Maru from about 1822 to 1832.

Ngāti Maru–Ngati Tūwharetoa War
The Ngati Maru–Ngati Tuwharetoa War (–1832) was one of the conflicts between Māori people, Māori tribes during the Musket Wars in New Zealand. In the course of the conflict, the Ngāti Maru (Hauraki), Ngāti Maru iwi invaded the rohe of Ngāti Tūwharetoa on four occasions. The first attack took place at some point after 1822, when a Ngāti Maru war party returning from the Cook Strait suddenly attacked Ngāti Tūwharetoa territories on the southeastern side of Lake Taupō. Under the leadership of Mananui Te Heuheu Tūkino II, Tūwharetoa pursued and destroyed this force. In revenge, Tuterangianini of Ngāti Maru led a successful invasion in late 1827 or early 1828, destroying several settlements. In December 1828, he attacked again, along with Ngāti Raukawa, and destroyed Motu-o-puhi pā. A final attack in January 1831, led by Ngāti Maru’s paramount chief, Te Arakai, destroyed Piripekapeka, but was severely defeated by Te Heuheu in a battle at Pareaka. After this, peac ...

People From Taupō
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
19th-century Māori Tribal Leaders
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm cer ...

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Te Heuheu Tūkino IV
Horonuku Te Heuheu Tukino IV (1821–1888), also known as Patātai (also spelt Patatai or Pataatai), was paramount chief of Ngāti Tūwharetoa, a Māori people, Māori tribe of the central North Island of New Zealand. His birth name was Patātai; he assumed the name Horonuku – meaning landslide – after the death of his parents in a landslide in 1846. He was placed under house arrest by the Crown. He gifted the mountains of Mount Ruapehu, Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe in 1887 for the creation of Tongariro National Park. Horonuku's father Mananui Te Heuheu Tūkino II was a famous warrior who led the tribe successfully in many wars. Mananui allegedly stood well over two metres tall and was heavily built, and was not only a formidable warrior but also a fine military tactician. Horonuku succeeded him after his death in a landslide, but because he was at such a young age of 16, Mananui's brother, Iwikau Te Heuheu Tūkino III, was put in control of the iwi. When Iwikau die ...

Early New Zealand Books
Early New Zealand Books (ENZB) is a project from the library of the University of Auckland, New Zealand, launched in 2005, that aims at providing keyword-searchable text of significant books published about New Zealand in the first two-thirds of the nineteenth century. It also includes the subsequently published memoirs, journals and correspondence of people active in this era. The project has been funded and managed by the University of Auckland Library and has been freely available on the internet; as of 2024, the database is temporarily only accessible by staff and students of the university. Each page is linked to an image of that page from the original book. This provides researchers with assurance of accuracy. There are special searches for captions to illustrations and chapter summaries as well as a general full-text search across the whole corpus. The images are available at original size and extra-large. Books are also available as downloadable ePub ebooks. It is one o ...

Hipaua Steaming Cliffs
The Hipaua steaming cliffs are a geological feature on the southern shores of Lake Taupō near Little Waihi, which also has hot springs associated with the Hipaua geothermal area. Geology Geothermal The long steaming cliffs are part of a geothermal area that crosses the escarpment on the line of the Waihi fault. The scarp is somewhat eroded and much of the steaming cliffs area is a slope of about 30 degrees covered by native bush. The largest Hipaua fumarole (Hipaua means 'the chimney') discharges at 1.4 MW and the whole geothermal area extending with hot water discharges from Little Waihi to Tokaanu Domain on the shore of the Lake itself discharges at 21MW. Faults The active intra-rift Waihi Fault Zone extends at least 38km from Little Waihi at Lake Taupō towards Mount Ruapehu. It has the potential to be associated with 6.5 magnitude earthquakes with recurrence intervals between 490 and 1,380 years. It may well extend in a fault complex another on land or even beyond t ...
