		Hongi returned to the Bay of Islands in January 1819 with a large number of prisoners, said to be about 2,000, and with many preserved heads of slain enemies.

		Hongi Hika, the maori chief who succeeded him, now wished to encourage these vessels back to begin trading again and had made contact with the Church Society in Sydney, reasoning that a Mission Station would dispel fears from any attack and the ships would return again to trade.
		Hongi Hika also offered to help build them a new mission station at Rangihoua, placing this at the base of the pa which would give them full protection.
		One of the accompanying family was a flsmith by trade and his services were eagerly sought by chief Hongi Hika to carry out repairs to muskets and guns and to cast musket balls for the firearms that had been traded with the Pakeha.

		Heke was influenced by the advice of the great Hongi upon his death-bed.
		Hongi’s advised his people to be kind to the missionaries, to have friendly intercourse with the settlers, but to resist the soldiers - “the men who wear red garments, the men who neither sow nor reap” and to “Let not the land of your ancestors pass into the hands of the pakeha.

		He took a number of Ngati Whatua captive and refused to hand them over to Hongi Hika, preferring instead to return them to their own people.
		Kawiti refused to sign the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840 seeing that it would inevitably lead to further European encroachment and the loss of Maori land.

		A Ngapuhi chief, Hongi Hika, had visited King George IV in Britain in 1820, helped a Cambridge Professor write a Maori language grammar and then picked up a few hundred muskets in Sydney on his way home.
		Hongi Hika used his muskets and the large number of warriors he could recruit with them to settle various old scores.
		In 1823, he came down the coast, up a river and had his men haul their great big sea-going war canoes kilometres through the bush so that he could attack Te Arawa's island refuge of Mokoia in Lake Rotorua (centre top of picture).

	Peter Wood on Maori & LEGO on National Review Online
		In 1820, a Maori named Hongi Hika visited England where he was feted at Cambridge, received by King George IV, and sent home laden with gifts.
		What the Maori really aimed for, they achieved: publicity for their 1993 Mataatua Declaration claiming broad legal protection for "the intellectual and cultural property rights of indigenous peoples." The Mataatua Declaration is rattling around the U.N. and other international bodies and bodes much mischief to come.
		I suspect the spirit of Hongi Hika, who exchanged those English gifts for muskets and powder, is smiling on his descendents.

	Kerikeri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, some Maori say it derives from hukerikeri which means "bubbling up", and there is a sad reasoning behind this.
		Hongi Hika, a famous or infamous chief depending on whether one fought with or against him, is reputed to have fathered the child of a captured slave at Kororipo Pa.
		As this was unacceptable to the tribe, the baby was placed in the water to drown but persistently rose to the surface, hence the "bubbling up".

	Kawiti and the Northern War
		He earned his mana in Hongi Hika's expeditions and in later engagements of the musket wars.
		It was in these battles that Kawiti learnt the power of the musket and the complete inadequacy of traditional pa in the face of a musket armed enemy.
		Perhaps he was even influenced by his old comrade in arms Hongi Hika's dying speech, traditionally the most important in Maori folklore.

		About the year 1808 a party of natives belonging to the Hikutu tribe from Hokianga paid a visit to Aorangi and requested to be supplied with pigs, but they were ordered off empty handed without being allowed to land.
		Soon after this incident it happened that Tatau and his warriors joined the notorious Hongi Hika on a fighting expedition to the Hauraki Gulf.
		Immediately after their departure a slave named Paha went in a small canoe to the mainland, losing no time in crossing over land to the west coast to the Hikutu settlement.

		From 1775 until approximately 1810 a number of prominent Waikato chiefs and warriors were born, including the first Maori King, Potatau Te Wherowhero of Ngati Mahuta, Te Rauparaha of Ngati Toa, Kawhia, and Hongi Hika, a Ngapuhi chief from the north, who played a significant role in Waikato history.
		It was Hongi Hika who invaded the Waipa triangle in 1822 at Matakitaki near Pirongia.
		The site of Matakitaki Pa was well suited to traditional Maori hand-to-hand combat, but the Pa?s inhabitants were defeated by the musket.

		Kerikeri was the pa site of the fearsome Maori chief Hongi Hika, who terrorised many tribes throughout the North Island in the early 1800's.
		Assured by Hongi that they would be welcome, the early missionaries to New Zealand from the English Church Missionary Society, decided to make the Kerikeri Basin the site of their second mission station.
		The rich soil which is today known for its horticultural produce, would return plentiful produce to sustain the group lead by Reverend Samuel Marsden.

		Hongi Hika from Ngapuhi iwi of the Bay of Islands was the first chief to acquire firearms in 1821, adding 300 muskets to his stock by trading the gifts showered on him by London society when he was presented to George IV as an "equal".
		Vowing to emulate the supreme power of the imperial king, he set about subduing much of the North Island, using the often badly maintained and inexpertly aimed guns to rattle the enemy, who were then slaughtered with the traditional mere.
		Busby was also duped by the madness of Baron de Thierry, a Brit of French parents, who claimed he had bought most of the Hokianga district from Hongi Hika and styled himself the "sovereign chief of New Zealand", ostensibly to save Maori from the degradation he foresaw under British dominion.

		Nowhere else is the historic consequence of the meeting of two peoples and cultures still intact, or the process that lead to the birth of a nation stamped more evocatively on a landscape.
		As the site of the second mission station founded by the Rev Samuel Marsden - and chosen principally for the support offered by Nga Puhi chief Hongi Hika and Kororipo Pa - the Basin is a unique combination of Maori history and missionary tradition.
		Consequently it has considerable educational and tourism value and the exciting prospect of a road bypass provides a renewed impetus, and a compelling imperative to produce a coherent plan for the future management, and visitor enjoyment.
