The last pou: Te Rohe Pōtae. As I said, part of the double duty obligation of Maniapoto after the 1863 land wars was to hold the aukati for 20 years—to hold a defensive boundary so that kin from Waikato, kin from Taranaki, could be looked after within the Maniapoto region. For 20 years, no one could break it, but it was by the temerity of spirit and leadership of those rangitira at the time that they advocated not only for the redress of the wrong that had occurred in their time and the Treaty of Waitangi, the return of lands and the like, they advocated to ensure that there would be a future for their people.
