Tamaoho

Tamaoho, the ancestor of Ngāti Tamaoho, is shown here with his taiaha and pet Tūī.

This pou was carved by Whātāpaka Marae Carving School and is currently housed at Waikato Museum, Kirikiriroa (Hamilton). The pou represents Tamaoho, along with his whanaunga Poutūkeka II and Hine.

Tamaoho built his pā at Maungaroa (near Maramarua) and taught his Tūī to speak at a nearby waterfall. The sounds of the waterfall kept out distracting noises and allowed the bird to learn to talk. This famous waterfall is shown in the carving, behind Tamaoho.
