Summary
| Description | Wirimu Maihi Te Rangikāheke (1815?-1896), also known as William Marsh, circa 1865. He holds a weapon called a taiaha and a korowai (Māori tag cloak), and wears a feathered piupiu. He was a chief of Ngati Rangiwewehi, in the Rotorua district of New Zealand. Te Rangikaheke was a recorder of Maori traditions. From 1849 to 1853 he wrote some 500 pages of material for the Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey. This material, consisting of traditional stories and songs and of commentaries upon such matters, formed the source of most of the prose material in Grey's Ko nga moteatea, me nga hakirara o nga Maori (1853), and also provided Grey with at least a quarter of the material for his Ko nga mahinga a nga tupuna Maori (1854), and hence for its translation, Polynesian mythology (1855). |
