Шаблон:OSM Location map Hinemihi was a Māori woman of Ngāti Awa from Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty, who married Tū-te-tawhā of Ngāti Tūwharetoa from the southern part of Lake Taupō, New Zealand. She is the ancestor of the Ngāti Hinemihi hapu of Ngāti Tūwharetoa. Te Ponanga saddle between Lake Taupō and Lake Rotoaira is named for an incident in her life. She probably lived in the seventeenth century.

Life

Hinemihi grew up at Whakatane on the Bay of Plenty. She had one brother, Tū-hereua, an elder sister called Hine-aro, and a younger sister called Te Aki-pare.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

One day, Hinemihi's sister Hine-aro came to Whakatane along with a group of Ngāti Kurapoto, bringing huahua (cooked birds, preserved in their own fat). This was Hinemihi's favourite food, but when she tried to eat some, her brother Tū-hereua grabbed her hand and said "If you like huahua so much, why don’t you go to Taupō and marry Tū-te-tawhā!”Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hine-aro and the Ngāti Kurapoto took Hinemihi and a third sister, Te Akipare, back to Ōpepe, where Hine-aro lived with her husband Pakira of Ngāti Poto.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

From there, Hinemihi asked to visit Tū-te-tawhā, travelling until she reached the high point of the pass between Lake Taupō and Lake Rotoaira. There she made herself up, in order to make the best impression on Tū-te-tawhā.Шаблон:Sfn She combed her hair, put on a korohunga (a cloak with a decorated border) and a paepaeroa (a fine cloak with tāniko borders). Then she doused herself in tarata, tāwhiri, mokimoki, taramea, and tītoki perfumes. Finally, she placed an albatross feather behind her ear and a white heron feather called Te Rau-o-Tītapu (“the feather of the bellbird”) in her hair. The place where she did this was henceforth known as Te Ponanga-o-te-hei-o-Hinemihi ("The Binding of the Necklace of Hinemihi"). From there she went on to Tū-te-tawhā's village and as she approached the people cried out, comparing her to the famous beauty Te Au-o-Karewa, and Tū-te-tawhā married her immediately.Шаблон:Sfn

Shortly after this, she and Tū-te-tawhā resettled from Lake Rotoaira, to the Karangahape cliffs at the south end of Lake Taupō, due to disagreements with Ngāti Whitikaupeka, and Tū-te-tawhā built a fortress on Motuwhara Island.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Tū-te-tawhā subsequently defeated the Ngāti Whitikaupeka at the Battle of Uwhiuwhi-hiawai, with the help of Hinemihi's brother Tū-hereua.

Family

Hinemihi and Tū-te-tawhā had three sons and one daughter:Шаблон:Sfn
