In 1995, The Maori Land Court [3] confirmed that a Haoni Taukawe (presumably Hunia Taukawe father ?) was a member of the Te Ati Haunui a paparangi iwi from the Whanganui River and is one of the original owners of Ohutu Land areas alongside the Matihiwi Marae. The daughter Pirihira was born in Otaki and deemed a member of the Ngati Raukawe tribe.
In 2009, the Maori Land Court confirmed that Haoni Taukawe was included as a landowner of maori land situated in the Ohariu Block, Wellington area and his successors were to be Hunia and Pirihira.
Research Notes
There is some question that Pirihira was the name of Hunia's daughter or even his spouse. Other suggestions have been that Hunia's spouse was actually Rehua Nga Morehu and their daughter was named Pirihira.
Hunia Taukawe and his father Haoni Taukawe are believed to be from the Matihiwi Marae on the Whanganui River. No evidence to date that his Birth Place is Otaki.
