RAUKAWA AFFILIATIONS
My mother lived at this house at KAUWHATA MARAE (near Feilding) from birth until she was 15 years old, at which point her whānau moved into town (Feilding). My mother is an EMERY, but her NGĀTI KAUWHATA lineage is through her maternal side, the KEREAMA whānau.
Besides KAUWHATA MARAE, my other Raukawa ki te Tonga marae is TE HIIRI O MAHUTA through my great, great grandparents TE KAIRANGATIRA NGAHEKE and RANGIPAWERA (pictured below).

I also whakapapa to RAUKAWA KI WHAREPŪHUNGA through my tupuna MANAWANUI who married into NGĀTI KAUWHATA. Her sister was TE URUMARANGA. Their maraes are AOTEAROA and RĀWHITIROA. The RAUHIHI whānau at POUTŪ MARAE (near Shannon) are descendants of TE URUMARANGA.
