Ngāti Hauā
Ngāti Hauā is a Māori iwi of the eastern Waikato of New Zealand. It is part of the Tainui confederation. Its traditional area includes Matamata, Cambridge, Maungakawa, the Horotiu district along the Waikato River and the Maungatautari district, and its eastern boundary is the Kaimai Range. Leaders of the tribe have included Te Waharoa (1820s and 1830s), his son Wiremu Tamihana (1840s to 1860s) and Tamihana's son Tupu Taingakawa. The tribe has played a prominent role in the Māori King Movement, with Tamihana and descendants being known as the "Kingmakers".
==Musket Wars==
Te Waharoa was the war leader of the small Ngati Haua iwi whose home territory was around Matamata. During the early stages of the brutal inter iwi and hapu Muskets Wars, Ngati Haua avoided direct attack from the musket armed northern tribes but in 1821 suffered the consequences of a savage attack on the main Ngati Maru Pā at Te Totara a short distance to the north. Ngati Maru survivors in large numbers fled into Ngati Haua rohe and eventually overwhelmed them and their resources, threatening the mana (meaning "power" or "authority") of the iwi. Te Waharoa, aware of the disparity in number, was embittered when Ngati Maru built Kaipaki Pa very close to his own. He devised a strategy to get Ngati Maru to lower their guard by pretending to leave for Omokoroa at Tauranga. At night he returned and launched a surprise attack on Ngati Maru forcing them out of the area. Conflict continued to rage throughout the area as Te Waharoa joined with relatives to fight in Rotorua and for regular seasonal invasions in Taranaki during which he took part in the massacre at Pukerangiora in 1831 when 1000-1500 people were killed and eaten. He also joined with relatives in Tauranga to help defend them against invading Ngapuhi.
During the latter stages of the Musket Wars the CMS missionaries tried to establish a mission station in Ngati Haua territory near Matamata in 1835-36 to try to bring peace between the marauding tribes.〔The Musket Wars. p 170-180,242-245. R. Crosby.Reed.1999.〕 The Reverends J. Morgan,T. Chapman, A. Brown and R, Maunsell and their wives established a mission school at Puriri on the Waihou River. Te Waharoa was keen to have the missionaries in his rohe but he was not interested in their Christian message and never attended church services. The missionaries' efforts were thwarted by the outbreak of war between Waikato/Ngati Haua on one hand v Arawa from Rotorua on the other as they sought vengeance for earlier attacks. The missionaries witnessed scenes of mass cannibalism with 60 bodies eaten in one day. Children were taken from the mission school to take part in eating bodies. Ngati Haua were victorious in 1836 but Arawa arrived to seek revenge. Morgan wrote "we find ourselves isolated in a savage land". The situation remained volatile and in September 1836 Marupo of Ngati Haua looted a large quantity of missionary property and raided the mission house. The missionaries were saved by Wiremu Tamihana who intervened and returned some of their property but the mission was abandoned as too unsafe.〔NZETC.Hero Stories of Nz. The Missionaries of Matamata .
