	First Maori War
		During his absence one of Waka Nene's allies, the Hokianga chief, Makoare Te Taonui, attacked and captured Te Ahu Ahu This was a tremendous blow to Heke's mana or prestige, obviously it had to be recaptured as soon as possible.
		With a formidable body of men and supported by artillery they sailed across the bay to the mouth of the Keri Keri River[?] and began to march inland to Ohaeawai[?] where Heke had built himself a formidable Pa. The conditions were atrocious: continual rain and wind on wet and sticky mud.
		Kawiti and Heke both sued for peace and Tamati Waka Nene[?] argued on their behalf suggesting that clemency was the best way to ensure peace in the North.

		Nene is said to have told Te Rauparaha, who was with them, to take over the area and enhance his power by trading for guns with the Europeans.
		Nene threatened to fell a kauri in front of the governor should he visit Hokianga, and this last measure was withdrawn, but unrest continued and government interference was resented.
		During the war Nene was disgusted at the incompetence of the commanders of the troops; he called Colonel Henry Despard a 'very stupid person' at Ohaeawai in June 1845, and in January 1846 he had to stop the colonel from assaulting Ruapekapeka before the defences had been breached by the guns.

		The battle blazed on both sides of the pa. Waka had his men reserve their fire, although they were under heavy attack by Heke’s.
		Once again Waka reserved his fire “until the breath of the charging enemy was hot upon them.” The smashing volley staggered the advancing wave and stopped it within metres of the stone wall.
		Waka sent the man to the missionaires to be tended and sent a message to Heke’s second in command (Te Haratua), “Remember Patai, and do not molest the drays.” Anyway, Heke didn’t want to attack the transport, “Where would be the use of our taking the food and powder of the soldiers?

		At that time, WIREMU WAKA, a brother of TAMATI WAKA NENE, came to me where I was working a column mortar, requesting me to stop firing, and to ask the other men to do so, till he went round to examine the Pa, as he suspected it was empty.
		Our friendly natives were distinguished from the rebels by wearing a piece of white calico, with a hole for their heads, and hanging down like a cape before and behind.
		Waka arranged that if he found no one inside the pa he would hoist his white cloth on his double-barrelled gun, and have it as a signal for the men to advance into the Pa at the breach made by the artillery.

	Chapter 20
		By 1840 most Maori chiefs, like Tamati Waka Néné or his brother Patuone saw the situation as utterly hopeless, unless the British monarchy could take over the country and establish laws to quell the intertribal fighting.
		Ironically, Tamati Waka Néné had been one of Hongi Hika’s generals and had been on a rampage of death all the way to Cook Strait from his home in the far north of New Zealand.
		Were it not for the intervention of the troops of chiefs Tamati Waka Néné, Eruera Patuone and Mohi Tawhai in 1845, after Chief Hone Heke’s forces burnt the town of Kororareka / Russell, it’s doubtful that the treaty could have survived.
