Keen to learn more about Aotearoa New Zealand's history prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi? Take a look at our new app telling the story of Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei.

Launched at the historic Mission Bay Stonehouse this month and available for free download this app covers the iwi's story up until the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.

It's an interactive app with synchronised text and audio in both Te Reo Māori and English, with the reader able to switch between languages.

"The app is important because it rewrites the standard story and helps us all to engage in contemporary issues with understanding"
Tamsin Hanly, Co-Author

It is the latest in a series of Te Reo Māori materials created through Te Aho Ngārahu, which focuses on developing localised stories into curriculum resources to support ākonga and kaiako.

The app includes teachers' notes and ideas for activities with students and will be made available to all schools across Aotearoa New Zealand.

From NWO website - formerly the "Our Story" page. Includes pepeha (written and video forms), brief blurb (see below), and story of the development of the Ngāti Whātua tohu/ brand imagery.

"We are Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, one of the hapū from the wider Ngāti Whātua iwi. Located in and around the Tāmaki isthmus, in the largest city in Aotearoa. We hold firm to our mana motuhake, history, culture, identity and language.

Occupation of Ngāti Whātua in Tāmaki Makaurau began in the 17th Century under the leadership of our rangatira Tuperiri. As such, every member of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei can trace their whakapapa to our shared ancestor Tuperiri and are descended from the three hapū; Ngā Oho, Te Taoū, me Te Uringutu, collectively referred to as Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

We are the tangata whenua of Tāmaki with our mana over the land and sea being underpinned by take tupuna (ancestral relationships), take raupatu (taking of the land and sea by traditional warfare), ahi kā (unbroken occupation) and tuku whenua (traditional gifting of land )

Today, the collective affairs of the sub-tribe are looked after by the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Trust with approximately 7000 registered hapū members throughout Aotearoa and the world."

Apihai Te Kawau was born near the end of the eighteenth century. Tarahawaiki and Mokorua were his parents and Tuperiri was his grandfather. Many of the senior lines of Ngāti Whātua and Tāmaki Makaurau converged upon him. Hence he was called 'the man of many cousins.'

It is thought while he was young he was involved in the battle at Moremonui. Furthermore, he was one of the principal chiefs of the Amiowhenua. The Amiowhenua departed Oneonenui in 1821. It is said, where-ever they went, bloodlust and extermination was their objective. Also, a piece of human flesh was Te Kawau's pillow as a morsel to chew upon in the night. The following year, Te Kawau and his men returned home. After the battle of Te Ika-a-Ranganui in 1825, Ngāti Whātua abandoned their homes in Tāmaki in case of an attack from Ngāpuhi. They then sought refuge at Waitākere and Waikato until the war had ceased, however, after the death of Hongi Hika, Te Kawau and his kin returned to their homes at Māngere, Onehunga, Horotiu and Orākei.

On the 20th of March in 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed by Te Kawau and others at Manukau. Not long after, Te Kawau said that land was to be made available for settlement by Pākehā. This aligned with the vision of the oracle Tītai whose prophecy was "He aha te hau." Afterwards, messengers were sent to Governor Hobson at Russell with the invitation from Te Kawau to establish his Government at Tāmaki. On October 20th, Te Kawau and others completed the transfer (tuku) of 3000 acres as a new town for the settlers. Furthermore, Te Kawau would be a friend and ally to the leaders of Government and the Church. It was Bishop Selwyn who baptised Te Kawau with his baptismal name Apihai, a fighting chief's name from the bible.

In 1852, Apihai was made an Assessor to adjudicate on issues between Māori and Pākehā. It was during this period that his thoughts changed regarding the sale of land and he urged Māori to hold their lands. In 1868, he was awarded the title of the Orākei block. 700 acres was the size of this last piece of tribal land. The following year he died at Ongarahu. Te Hira and Herawhakamana were his children.
