Ko Tāraia Ngākuti, tētahi rangatira nō Ngāti Tamaterā i Waiaua, tētahi o ngā rangatira nunui ka kore e whakaae ki te waitohu i te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ko Tāraia tētahi toa rongonui, ā, tērā pea i whakaaro ia mā te waitohu pea e heke ai tōna mana. I muri iho i kī ia nā tana kore waitohu, i mau tonu ia i te mana ki te whakatau i ngā tautohetohe ā-iwi me te kore aro atu ki Rūtene-Kāwana William Hobson. Nā reira, ka whakatau te Tari Kirirarau Piritānia he kirirarau Piritānia ngā Māori katoa, ahakoa i waitohu rātou, tō rātou rangatira rānei i te tiriti.
