Te Heuheu family line

This whakapapa (genealogical chart) traces the line of descent from Tūwharetoa to Herea, who established the paramount Te Heuheu line, and adopted the Te Heuheu name at the end of the 18th century. The chart shows the succession of first-born chiefs down to Tumu Te Heuheu Tūkino VIII, paramount chief at the start of the 21st century.

Peter Rangikaripiripia Heretini
12 April 2024

Kia ora, I am trying to trace my whakapapa back to Tuwharetoa. My great grandmother is Pipi Maunga who married Heretini Wikitari Tame. Can anybody help me find my Tuwharetoa line. I know it is close because where I grew up in Whakarewarewa (Ngati Wahiao) All of the old people talk about Heretini and his Te Heuheu connection. I can only assume that is through Pipi Maunga (Pukawa). I can remember meeting with Hepi Te Heuheu at Hato Petera College and he giving me this huge embrace/hug that still resonates with me today after 40 years. My whanau say that Heretini was the maangai for Tuwharetoa at his time. However I hope the names of Peter Rangikaripiripia Heretini Tame may provide some clues. Kia ora.

Kia ora, Takarea was the 'first born' of Horonuku. I understand why Tureiti was chosen as chief. But perhaps your advisers at teara.govt.nz should explain that in your docs. Its confusing. I know that only males are designated as chiefs [in Tuwharetoa] but I think the distinction needs to be made about gender vs. age - to be fair to whakapapa.
