Pitiroi
Ko Pitiroi (Robert Fitzroy) te Kāwana tuarua o Aotearoa. Nō te tau 1805 i whānau mai a ki Ingarangi. Ka kuraina ia ki te Kāreti Roera Tauāmoana. Ko tōna kaipuke tuatahi ko te Beagle. Nō te 1831, nā Pitiroi i whakamahere ngā takutai moana o Tierra del Fuego, o Patagonia, o Ngā Ara o Magellan hoki. He hoa tōna i tēnei haerenga āna, ko Charles Darwin, ko te tohunga pūtaiao, ā, ka puta mai āna whakaaro rongonui mō ngā tūhuratanga me ngā mea i kite ai ia nō taua haerenga kaipuke.
Ka tohungia a Pitiroi i te tau 1843 hei Kāwana mō Aotearoa, i muri i te mate wawe o Kāwana Hopihona, i hemo ai i te 1842. Kua pau ke i taua wā ngā moni o te koroni, ka puta mai ki Te Wairau te riri a te Māori ki te Pākehā. Ka haria e te hau he rongo mō te pakanga ki Te Tai-tokerau hoki. Heoi anō, kāhore i tukuna he hōia, he pūtea rānei hei tautoko i te tū o te Kāwana hou. Ka tukuna kētia ki a ia ngā tohutohu, māna e whakawhitiwhiti kōrero kē, mā tēnei pea e ea ngā raruraru. Kāhore kau a Ngāti Toa i pākia mō te whawhai ki Te Wairau e Pitiroi, nā te mea e kore a Pitiroi i tino mōhio mehemea i tika te riro mai i ō te Kamupene o Niu Tīreni whenua; nā te mea hoki, i te mōhio anō a Pitiroi, e kore te riri ki a Ngāti Toa e tareka e ia. Kātahi anō a Pitiroi ka tahuri ki te tino rangahau i ērā hokonga atu o te Kamupene o Niu Tīreni; kia oti rā anō ēnei mahi, kātahi anō aua hokonga ka whakamanahia. Ka puta rā te riri a ngā tāngata whaimana o te Kamupene o Niu Tīreni, me tā rātou kōrero kia panaia ko Pitiroi kia whakahokia ia ki Ingarangi.
Ko tētahi atu o ngā āhuatanga o te wā Kāwana i a Pitiroi, ko tētahi ture o te tau 1844 e kīa nei ko te Native Exemption Ordinance. He pire e aro ana ki ngā tikanga whakahaere i ngā ture e pā ana ki ngā Māori, arā, ki te hara te Māori me utu paremata ia, kāhore ia e whiua ki te whareherehere. Ko te wā e mana ana taua pire te poto rawa. Ahakoa tērā, hei wāhi anō tēnei mō ngā rangatira e whakatau raruraru. Mā te Karauna anake te mana hoko whenua Māori i te wā i a Pitiroi te Kāwana, he tikanga tēnā i whakamanahia e te Tiriti o Waitangi tonu. Heoi anō, nā te mea he iti rawa te pūtea, kāhore te Karauna i āhei ki te hoko whenua mai i te Māori, kāhore anō e taea te hoko atu ki ngā kaiwhakanoho. Me te aha, ka puta te riri a ngā Māori ki ngā kaiwhakanoho, a ngā kaiwhakanoho ki ngā Māori, ka kino haere ngā raruraru.
Ka puta te whakautu a Pitiroi mō taua āhuatanga, ka whakaaetia tā te Māori hoko tika i ngā whenua ki ngā kaiwhakanoho. Kāhore i whakaae te Tari mō ngā Koroni ki taua whakaaro a Pitiroi, ā, nō te marama o Haratua o te tau 1845 ka puta ko te whawhai i Te Tai-tokerau, ka tonoa kia hoki ia ki Ingarangi a Pitiroi.
