I te tau 1894, ka whakamārama ia i tana matakite mō te tāpenakara a Rāwiri; ka topea ngā rākau 12 ki te wao o tuawhenua ake o Te Wairoa, ā, ka tapā ia rākau ki tētahi o ngā ingoa tekaumārua o ngā tamariki a Hakopa, te tipuna o Iharaira. Ka tiaki ana pononga mā te whakapono e kawe ngā poro rākau, ā, nō te waipuke i te tau 1904 ka tere ngā poro katoa (hāunga tētahi) ki te wāhi i tohua ki te takutai, arā ki Kōrito. Kua tapaina tērā i ‘pōtere atu’ ki te ākau ko Hohepa. Ka whakahokia mai tērā i tawhiti ki ōna tuākana. E tatari tonu ana ngā rākau ki te kaiwhakatutuki i te kī.

Nō te 8 o ngā rangi o Noema 1918 ka pā matakite ia ko ia tonu hei arataki i te iwi mai i ngā atua tawhito. I tua atu i tāna whakaaranga hāhi, ka tū anō i a ia te rōpū tōrangapū whai i ngā tūru Māori katoa o te Paremata mō ngā tau maha.
Te Hāhi o te Ruri Tuawhitu o Ihowā
Nō Ngāti Koata me Ngāti Kuia a Haimona Pātete. I te tekau tau 1890, nāna i whakamahi ngā akoranga a Pāora Te Pōtangaroa kia hanga i tana hāhi ko Te Hāhi o te Ruri Tuawhitu o Ihowā. E kīia ana nā Pātete tētahi kōtiro i whakaora kīhai i taea e ngā tākuta. Ka poua te whakapono nei ki Wairau me Wairarapa, ā¸ i ngā tau 1915–18 kotahi 18 te rahi o ana minita, pīhopa hoki. Ka korara te minenga i te taenga o Rātana ki roto o Wairau i te tau 1921.

I te ngahuru tau 1930 ka arataki a Hōri Enoka (Te Mareikura) i te whakapono o Te Māramatanga ki Ōhakune me Taitoko. He mea whakaaweawe tēnei hāhi e Mere Rikiriki. Whai muri i tōna matenga i te tau 1946 ka taka āna mahi ki ōna tungāne (me ētahi atu). Ka whai wāhi ngā poropiti katoa o mua ki te hāhi Māramatanga. Ka tonoa ōna kaihautū i ngā haerenga ki raro i te mana o ngā Katorika, ki raro rānei i tā rātou anō kaupapa.
Hoori Keeti
He minita whai mana a Hoori Te Kou-o-Rehua Keeti nō te hāhi Ringatū i ngā tau mai i te tau 1942 ki tōna matenga ki te kāinga i Ōmāio i te tau 1961.

I te tau 2007 ka whakanuia e ia tōna huritau 90 ka kīia hoki ia ‘te poropiti Māori whakamutunga’; ka mate nei ia i te tau 2008.
Tātai whakaheke
Ka tātai ā-wairua mai ēnei kaiārahi tētahi i tētahi, ahakoa hoariri i ētahi wā. Ko rātou katoa tonu ka rongo i te whiu a te kāwanatanga, a te pirihimana rānei. Heoi ko te aro nui o ēnei rangatira ko te oranga Māori kua rua rau tau e haumate ana e noho manene ana. Ko te kaupapa tuakiri whānui a ēnei rangatira he whakakotahi i te iwi Māori ki raro i te ingoa o ngā Iharaira, ahakoa ngā rerekētanga ā-iwi. Ki tā te titiro Māori he mana nō te atua te mana o te rangatira nei ka manaakitia mō tētahi whakatipuranga ka tukuna iho ai. Inā ia nei he rite tonu te whakahou i te rārangi poropiti.
