Some photos here for my Ngāti Manu cousins recording the wonderful day we shared. Lest we forget 176 years since the destruction by the British of Whetoi Pōmare II’s fortified stronghold Ōtuihu and his wrongful imprisonment for sedition and presumed involvement in the sacking of Kororāreka.
Sergeant John Williams, 58th regiment, adjusted photograph of burning of Otuihu with silhouette of British warship North Star moored off the northern tip of the headland that guards over the Taumarere entrance, 30 April 1845. The figures standing around the fire on te rae tihi are ngā hoia Ingarihi no ngā roopu e rua: ko te Rima Te Kau ma Waru me te Iwa Te Kau ma Ono. Collection: Hocken Library
It was a little strange meeting the current landowner. John McIntosh to me means a great, great grandfather who built and owned the Old Oak tavern in Mangonui (1861). See below.
John McIntosh, Old Oak Tavern (1861), Mangonui waterfront – like Pōmare at Otuihu, McIntosh sold alchohol here. The building of this structure is attributed to McIntosh. There is an earlier hotel Donnybrook that looks a bigger version of today’s Old Oak and that was built by Thomas Flavell (1842) who married Hēnihikahe of Te Aupōuri (from my wife’s Ihaka whānau line)rangihiiroa, entrance, Ngāti Manu whare tupuna, Kareturangihiiroa, view (upper) out through distinctive porch to Puketohunoa – site of the pā to which Pōmare shifted his Ngāti Manu people.

Great to hear the kōrero from Arapeta Hamilton on our ancestor Pōmare II and hitore surrounding the destruction of Otuihu at this wānanga. There was depth and clarity and a deep sense of injustice that permeated te mita o te reo. Ae, koinā te kōrero. E kore mātou e wareware taua hē.
Sorry for taking so long getting to this Elizabeth Boutet I have been in the middle of writing a substantial piece of work that grows out the wānanga – I was hoping to share but it has grown too large. It is about ancestral resonance and the pathway of tūpuna like Tohe and Ihenga in the North (Muriwhenua/ Kaipara/ Te Tai Tokerau) and the way that names and ancestral journeys connect our different hapū and iwi and rohe one to the other through the complex interlaced layers of whakapapa. E ngā whānaunga, don’t be surprised if this kōrero changes and expands. The pictures will remain. Mauri ora ki āku whānaunga o Ngāti Manu.

Major Cyprian Bridge, 58th Regiment: another image wrongly attributed to being Otuihu (in the Alexander Turnbull Library). The labelling quite clearly says on the image that it is Karetu and one assumes Puketohunoa, the new pā Whetoi Pōmare II had built for Ngāti Manu. The date is 1846 (so quick turnaround) the year after the burning of Otuihu by the British and their evacuation further inland on the Taumarere river to the Karetu valley
