Mr Williams sought to show how Te Poihipi Tukairangi and Ngati Ruingarangi (Taupo) have been misrepresented in a historical context. He explored ways they used a variety of strategies (including so-called loyalism) to maintain their聽mana聽(inherited status) and autonomy to retain their聽rangatiratanga聽(the chief鈥檚 rights and responsibilities). He shows Te Poihipi in his own terms and illustrates how he dealt with various challenges by: taking the initiative; seeking to acquire a mission in the district; charting a path between Te Kingitanga, conflict, and cooperation with the government; choosing carefully who to support during armed conflicts; by encouraging settler involvement in the district; selling land; and supporting tourism. Mr Williams鈥檚 study can be used as a starting point for investigating the complexities of how聽tupuna聽(ancestors) made decisions and alliances to maintain their own聽mana聽and聽rangatiratanga.
