The Two Bitterns: A Tale of Manurewa
 
Around the name of Matukurua, centres the historic memories of two fortified hills at Manurewa: Matukutureia, the vigilant bittern, and Matukutururu, the bittern standing at ease, names which commemorate two chiefs who commanded the forts. Matukutururu was nicknamed because in a time of expected war, he had gone eel fishing and fallen asleep, to be captured by the enemy alongside his people. Matukutureia had saved his Pa and people with vigilance. The two pa were collectively known as Nga Matukurua, by the Ngai Huatau branch of the Wai-o-Hua people.
 
The affairs of Huarangi, son of Huatau, brought about complications. He first married Takawai, a cheiftainess of the closely related sub-tribe of Ngai Tahuhu, the marriage complying fully with Māori customs. They had a son called Tamapahure, and other children of promise. On the death of Takawai, Huarangi ignored the claims of many eligible cousin-in-laws and sister-in-laws and took to wife Kohe. Though of high rank, Kohe belonged to another tribe, Ngāti Paoa. This mixed marriage caused great disapproval, so that when Huarangi introduced Kohe into his Wai-o-Hua circle, he was in an ever-difficult position.
 
The couple’s unhappy domestic affairs were soon brought to a crisis under the following circumstances. Kohe, expecting her first-born, craved the preserved pigeon foods of her Ngāti Paoa homeland. When her father heard of her desire, he set aside for her a Rahui kereru or pigeon preserve, an area still shown on maps as Te Hape-o-Kohe (the childbearing of Kohe). Kohe placed the huahua-kereru (preserved pigeons) in her food stores and did not allow any to the relatives and children of the first wife. This act of meanness resulted in much unpleasantness until Huarangi took Kohe to live in Matukutururu, leaving Tamapahure and his children by his first wife.
 
Tamapahure assumed chieftainship of Matukutureia in his father’s place. At Matukutururu, Kohe gave birth to her son Tamapahore, followed by a girl Hineawhea, as well as other children. When Huarangi died, his children by the two marriages continued to live apart, with Tamapahure and Tamapahore being recognised as the chiefs of their respective pa’s.
 
One of the consequences of this extra-tribal marriage was the refusal to grant the girl full tribal rights. When the time came for Hineawhea to be tattooed, the family instruments kept at Matukutureia were rudely refused. Kohe had long endured belittlements and this was the last straw. She visited her stepson’s pa on the flocked marae and said many acidulous things to his discomfort. She sang a kaioraora (cursing song) that is not translatable, being over epic in its pungency. Then with her daughter and younger children, she returned to her home at Piako. Tamapahore, bowing to the rules of uru tāne, had no personal grievance over his sister’s tattooing belittlements, living on Matukutururu with his wife and children.
 
One day the men of Matukurua were kite-flying with Tamapahore’s kite ascending the highest. Tamapahure caused the cord of his kite to foul of his brothers and break it, the valued kite drifting towards Hauraki. Hence the place name in its full form, Te Manu Rewa o Tamapahore (the drifted-away kite of Tamapahore). Tamaphore travelled with his family to where his kite had drifted. He was guided to Pukekotaretare (near Mercury Bay), where he there found his kite. Hence the name of that district, Whenuakite, from Te Whenua i Kitea te Manu o Tamapahore (the land where the kite of Tamapahore was found). Tamapahore settled there for a time and took to his wife, a woman of Ngāti Hoi, later joining his mother’s people at Piaki with his family. There, his descendants are still known as Nga Manu Aute (The kite people).
