Summary[edit]

Description

On 19 June 1840 the HMS Herald, having gathered signatures in Te Waipounamu (South Island), arrived near Kāpiti Island. Thomas Bunbury had special instructions from William Hobson to gain the signature of paramount Ngāti Toa rangatira, Te Rauparaha.

As well as Te Rauparaha, prominent Ngāti Toa rangatira Te Rangihaeata also signed. Bunbury wrote later that 'the chief Rangihaeata, after some time, returned with us on board, accompanied by Rauparaha, when both signed the [Herald Sheet of the] treaty.’

This is a photograph of a lithograph of Te Rangihaeata by Richard Aldworth Oliver. An interesting feature of this work is the mere pounamu (hand weapon) held by Te Rangihaeata - called Te Tuhiwai - which originally belonged to Te Rauparaha.
