Te Kapuamātotoru

[2] His mother was Te Matakainga-i-te-tihi,[2] the queen (hei tihi) of the Ngāi Tamaterangi hapū of the Wairoa river valley.

[2] When Te Kapuamātotoru reached adulthood, a chief of Ngāti Rakaipaaka called Manawa took him to his pā, Wairoro, located on the Tahaenui River.

At this, Manawa said E Tama, tau wahine e moe ai koe ko te ruruwai na ("Son, what a rubbish woman you have married!")

[1] Subsequently, Pakitua's grandson Tamahore began to claim greater authority over the land at Waikaremoana and stopped sending food, so Te Kapumatotoru had him killed with magic.

These events formed the basis of a successful appeal before a parliamentary commission by Te Kapuamātotoru's descendants to be included among the owners of the Waikaremoana block in 1907.
