	Heke Pokai, Hone - MSN Encarta
		Hone Heke Pokai (1810?-1850), Maori chief of the Ngapuhi tribe in New Zealand famous for his defiant attacks on British soldiers and, in particular, on the British flag, the symbol of colonial rule in New Zealand.
		Born at Pa Karaka, Heke was a nephew of Hongi Hika, a fierce Ngapuhi warrior, and married Hariata, Hongi's daughter.
		Heke later grew to resent the British, who encroached on Maori land despite the treaty, and when the colonial government moved from Kororareka (modern-day Russell) to Auckland, depriving him of the money he had levied from shipping, he went to war.

		Born at Pakaraka south of Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, Heke was a member of the Ngapuhi tribe but also had connections to Rahiri which added to his mana and gave him significant influence within the tribe.
