Fig. 50a.—Makaenuku Pa, District of the Hutt. Mr. Brees writes, in 1846: “This Pa has been built, and the extensive potato grounds around it cleared entirely within the memory of the present settlers. It was occupied by the ‘Porerua’ and some other troublesome natives, who acknowledged Rauparaha and Rangihaeata as their chiefs. The former is considered the ‘ariki’ or chief ruler. A Pa is enclosed with stockades and trenches; low bars are laid across the entrance to keep the pigs in or out as may be desired. The name ‘kainga’ is given to an unenclosed settlement.”
