Matakore was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of Ngāti Maniapoto in the Tainui tribal confederation from the Waikato region, New Zealand. He is an ancestor of the Ngāti Matakore hapu (sub-tribe) of Ngāti Maniapoto and of the southern branch of Ngāti Raukawa. He probably lived in the early seventeenth century.[3]
Life
Matakore was the third-born son of Rereahu, who was a direct descendant of Hoturoa (the commander of the Tainui canoe), and his first wife, Rangi-ānewa, daughter of Tamāio.[4] His mother was Hine-au-pounamu, Rereahu’s second wife, whose parents were Tū-a-tangiroa of Tainui and a daughter of the Ngāti-Hā chief Hā-kūhā-nui.[5] Matakore had an older half-brother, Te Ihinga-a-rangi, five full brothers (Maniapoto, Tū-whakahekeao, Tūrongo-tapu-ārau, Te Io-wānanga or Te Āio-wānanga, Kahu-ariari), and two sisters (Kinohaku and Te Rongorito), many of whom were the ancestors of hapu (sub-tribes) of Ngāti Maniapoto.[6]
Matakore settled near his brother Maniapoto’s settlement at Mohoao-nui, east of Otorohanga.[7] When Rereahu was on his death-bed he decided to give his mana to Maniapoto, rather than Te Ihinga-a-rangi, because he thought the younger brother had proven himself a better leader.[8] This led to a conflict between Maniapoto and Te Ihinga-a-rangi, in which Matakore supported Maniapoto. As a result, after his victory, Maniapoto favoured Matakore highly and granted him control of all his lands south of the Waipā River and in the Rangitoto Range.[9] Tania Ka'ai cites the relationship between the two brothers as an exemplary case of the “mutually satisfying relationship” expected between tuakana (‘elder brother’) and teina (‘younger brother’) in Māori culture.[10]
Matakore spent the rest of his life at peace and was very prosperous. Due to his great mana it was customary for the people to offer him the first part of anything that they caught in the river or in the mountains. A Tainui tradition reports that, on one occasion, the people came with these offerings when he was asleep, but when they woke him up, he looked at the food and then went back to sleep, saying “If you wake me up, let it be for the whatu turei of Rua.” Whatu turei was a cake made out of hīnau berries, but the phrase is a sexual double entendre. The story is told as a contrast with the gluttonous behaviour of some other chiefs and Matakore’s phrase has become a Māori proverb (whakataukī).[9][11]
Family
Matakore married Wai-harapepe, a descendant of Hekemaru, son of the Te Arawa chief Pikiao and they had a son:[12]
- Mania-takamaiwaho, who married Tore-kauaea, daughter of Tū-te-ao-mārama.
He also married Tuki-taua, daughter of Wairere and had a daughter:
- Waiko-hika, who married Te Kanawa the elder and had two daughters: Pare-nga-ope and Tira-manu-whiri.[13]
Matakore’s descendants, Ngāti Matakore, share seven marae in the southern Waikato with various other hapu of Ngāti Maniapoto, and one marae in Manawatu with hapu of Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Toa.[1][2]
Sources
Pei Te Hurinui Jones gives an account of Matakore’s life based on accounts he had heard from Tainui elders.[14]
