  1. Cool Turua, Your ancestor Te Roro o te rangi had a famous patu like weapon called a mere. This mere was called "Kaitangata" and was at the heart of a fierce war between your ancestors of Ngati Whakaue and another iwi Ngati Tuwharetoa from Taupo. It was a sad day and Ngati Whakaue didn't win, but what is remembered is the courage that your ancestors showed during battle.

    Here is a link to a video showing your ancestor Te Roro o te rangi's brother Tunohopu seeking revenge on Ngati Tuwharetoa; https://youtu.be/brHtjgVYuWI

    Here is a link to what a mere looks like:
