Hikareia

On Christmas Day 1835 Te Hunga, a kinsman of Te Waharoa, was killed, probably by Haerehuka of Te Arawa. Three months later Te Waharoa led his warriors to Maketu to exact utu: on 28 March 1836 they destroyed Te Arawa's pa and Tapsell's trading station. Tupaea, supporting Te Waharoa, was present and saved Tapsell and his family. Te Arawa then avenged the sack of Maketu by destroying Te Tumu on 5 May 1836. Before the pa fell Hikareia, Tupaea's uncle, sent Tupaea, wounded in the head, with a guard of warriors back to Tauranga, so that Ngai Te Rangi would not be left leaderless. Hikareia and many other Ngai Te Rangi were killed. Source: http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1t112/tupaea-hori-kingi
