Description: Scene depicts the carved and decorated tomb (wahi tapu) of the Ngati Rahiri chief Huriwhenua, set within its own fence and with the palisades of a pa for protection. The carved war canoe (waka taua) of Huriwhenua is set upright into the earth and marks where the chieftain is buried. Framed with hills behind and whare (raupo houses) on both sides and beyond. The location is described in Angas' accompanying text as a 'small and now entirely deserted Pah on the shores of Tory Channel, not far distant from the entrance of Queen Charlotte Sound', probably close to Te Awaiti. The site was tapu and Angas did not have permission to draw it. Angas visited New Zealand in 1844. It is uncertain if Huriwhenua was of Ngati Toa descent, but he was the principal chief of the Ngati Rahiri tribe from Taranaki. His sister Te Wharemawhai, was married to Nohoroa (Tom Street), the eldest (half) brother of Te Rauparaha. Other Titles - Ngati Toa Quantity: 1 colour art print(s).

Description: A seated Maori woman wrapped in a blanket (E Wai inscribed beneath her) to the left of a standing Maori woman in a flax cloak. Behind the women is the Wellington Harbour, with part of Te Aro Pa (pallisades and a house) to the left. Angas visited New Zealand in 1844. Rakapa Kahoki is the daughter of Te Rangi Topeora and Te Wehi-o-te-Rangi of Te Arawa, and niece of Te Rangihaeata. She later married Petera Te Pukuatua also of Te Arawa (Ngati Whakaue). E Wai is thought by some to be Te Wainokenoke, however this is highly unlikely as Te Wainokenoke is shown in another Angas picture with her husband Nohorua (or Tom Street) as a much older woman. This is probably Te Waitaoro who later married the whaler James Cootes. She was closely related to Te Rauparaha, her father Te Poa was Rauparaha's childhood friend, and two of her daughters were later married to Te Rauparaha's great grandson Wineera Te Kanae.
