ORIGIN OF NGĀTI TE AUTE
The new Kirikiri Settlement which became an active marae, was responsible for the main center of the Ngāti Maru descendants from Tamatepō, first son of Marutūāhu, who did not name themselves tribally as Ngāti Tamatepō like Ngāti Tamaterā from the second son named Tamaterā; or like Ngāti Whanaunga from the third son Whanaunga.
For reasons beknown to themselves, the descendants of Tamatepō, took the tribal name of Ngāti Maru as priorities to them, then residing from Thames, Parawai, Totara, Kupata, Kirikiri to Warahoe, Matatoki, Puriri, Omahu and Hikutaia. Then for further purposes transpired later, Tamatepō’s descendants of Kirikiri of Ngāti Maru again took a new name by adopting the Chieftainess's name of Te Aute who married Poutangi, of Tamatepō’s lineage to come down to the our whānau the Watene's, Mare Teretiu, Hori More, Hoani Nahe, Eruini Taipari and other families residing in Kirikiri: Ngāti Te Aute remained to this day, as the main sub-tribe of Hauraki in conjunction with Ngāti Maru more effectively.
Below showcases the whakapapa of our hapū Ngāti Te Aute. The line of Tamatepō down to Poutangi whom married Te Aute.
This was not the only intermarriage with the Te Arawa canoe and the Ngati Huarere people. Tamatepō married Rangiuru and had Rauakitai and Rauakitua. Marutūāhu told his eldest son Tamatepō that he was to marry a Ngāti Huarere woman by the name of Rangiuru whose people were the tangata whenua over that area from Moehau in the north to Puriri in the south. Tamatepō had met Rangiuru on other occasions when visiting his mother's relatives of Ngāti Huarere in Papaaroha. Rangiuru was a princess of very high birth among her people of Ngāti Huarere and the Te Arawa waka confederation. She was a direct descendant of Huarere, the great great grandson of Tama te Kapua, captain of the Te Arawa waka.
The Ngāti Te Aute people of Kirikiri, Kopu, Hikuwai, Taparahi, Wharekawa, Pauanui and Tairua have managed to maintain some of their ancestral lands within their traditional Rohe. Lands which were passed down to them from their eponymous ancestor Poutangi, his sons and others after their conquest of that area. Some of the descendants of Ngāti Te Aute continue to occupy their ancestral lands today keeping their home fires burning for their tūpuna of past and whānau of the future whom are either at home or absent from the rohe.
