They also adopted a new knickname after colonialisation usually a derivitive of someone they admired or wanted to venerate. Worthy of discussion. I dont think Pokai or Heke were surnames as such, most Maori did not have them. Surnames only came into play once the English came to NZ. Happy to be proven wrong however.
Its terrific to have your input however thankyou so much. Shirley
