Signatures At Ruapuke.

The three signatures obtained at Ruapuke are signed as John Touwaick, Kaikoura, and Taiaroa. Going on to Otago Heads, John page 27 Karetai and Korako also signed. These five are the only Southern names on any copies of the Treaty of Waitangi.

The “Herald” then proceeded northwards, got a few signatures at Akaroa and at Cloudy Bay, then sailed across the Straits to the Island of Kapiti, where the Southerners' old–time enemies, Te Rauparaha and Rangihaeata, signed on the same sheet as Tuhawaiki, Taiaroa and Karetai. So the Ngatitoa signed the same document as their late foes, the Kaitahu people.
