History of the Morehu Marae.
Morehu Marae is one of three Marae belonging to the Hapu of Te Uri-o-tai, which has three papakainga within its rohe. Each Marae is located within one of the papakainga making up the community of Pawarenga. The foundation of these papakainga dates back to the resettlement of Pawarenga, following the pakanga at Ahipara, and was established under the mana-whenua of the Tupuna; Tarapatiki, Wiripo, Te Huhu and Parehe
Papa. Each Marae symbolises the collective mana of the Kaitiaki whanau within their respective papakainga, and collectively the mana of
Te Uri-O-Tai.
Morehu Marae is situated within the Potikari papakainga and established under the tupuna Tarapatiki. His direct descendants are the primary
beneficiaries and Kaitiaki of Morehu Marae.
Morehu Marae together with the other two Marae was extensively renovated in the mid 8O's. The renovation included the building of a new
Wharekai, Waimionga, the Wharetupuna, Kurahaupo and the ablution block.
Ohaki and Taiao Marae.
Ohaki Marae is situated within the papakainga located in the centre of the rohe, which was originally called Pawarenga, and established under
the tupuna Wiripo. His direct descendants are the primary beneficiaries and Kaitiaki of Ohaki Marae.
Taiao Marae is located at Taiao Makora, situated within the Pakinga papakainga, and established under the tupuna Te Huhu and associate
Paraihe Papa. Their direct descendants are the primary beneficiaries and Kaitiaki of Taiao Marae.
Te-Uri-O-Tai Hapu.
The name Te Uri-O-Tai derives from the tupuna Ngataiawa, who was chosen because of his prevalence to the whanau of each papakainga and uniting them all under a common whakapapa. The long title for the Hapu is 'Te Uri-o-Ngataiawa; the descendants of Ngataiawa, hence the name “Te
Uri-O-Tai”.
Te Uri-o-tai is one of the affiliated hapu, which constitute the Iwi of Te Rarawa.
