284 M v. Tamati Waka Nene [9125].
Rapunga Kupu Akoako: (korero taken from "NZ
History.govt.nz") Nene: fought in the Musket Wars of the
1820s. After the death of Hongi Hika he assumed responsibility for

until 1839. Nene took the baptismal name of Thomas Walker
(Tamati Waka) after an English merchant who was a patron of the
(Anglican) Church Missionary Society.
Tamati Waka Nene
Nene had seen the advantages of a Pakeha presence and was
anxious to maintain peace in the region. As well as offering
protection to the Anglican and Wesleyan missionaries he supported the work of the
British Resident, James Busby.
Nene spoke out strongly in favour of te Tirirti O Waitangi during the debate at Waitangi

maintained that it was impossible to turn back either Pakeha or time. Maori chiefs had

Maori, their customs and lands should be preserved. His speech was the turning point of
the debate and influenced many of those present to sign te Tiriti the following day. Nene
