BIRTH: Hariata Teutupoto alias Hariata Teki {nee Kahuwaero} was born ca1858 It was assumed that Hariata was born at Korohe, however MLCM suggest she may have been born at Paeroa (Waiotapu) or Rotoiti. (7TOK/AKT/195)

Hariata second marriage was to Te Aho te Herekiekie. It is stated in the MLC munutes that he 'cast her aside' and she was taken to Turakina by te Keepa Puataaha and was Match married to Haimona Te Utupoto her third husband.

Hariata left the Tokaanu district long before Te Kooti’s raid and went to live at Inland Patea (near Moawhango in the Rangitikei area). Hariata returned to the Tokaanu/ Turangi area to live at Korohe when she married Te Aho Te Herekiekie a prominent Chief at the time.

Hariata & Ripeka te Kahuwaero Information taken from sworn statements 6AKT/Hautu Tribal Affiliation or IWI - Tuwharetoa Family Affiliation or HAPU - Ngati Ngaue Marae - Korohe (formerly known as Te Putere)

Hariata and her sister Ripeka were the Daughters of Ripeka (1st) and Wikiriwhi

(7ATK) Hariata had left this district in 1874 - but had left it previous to Te Kooti's raid with her sister and lived at Patea - long before raid - Hariata Lived at Tokaanu - Waiakiri No3. before Te Kooti's raids - Went away to Patea with her sister .

Ripeka married Davies I think after the raid – some time after Hariata married Davies –  Hariata did not come at first with Ripeka and Davies to Korohe - She came when she married Te Aho te Herekiekie - They were at Tokaanu - they never once lived at Hautu 1.  On being deserted by Te Aho, Keepa Puataata took her to Rangitikei - In 1874 I think this was - Te Miti said so –
