Matahiwi is a farming community {{convert|55|km}} upriver from Whanganui, New Zealand, home to the Māori hapū known as Ngā Poutama of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi. The township takes its name from the bush-clad puke (hill) on the western side of the Whanganui River, right above the local marae, whose name translates as "the face on the ridge" (mata, face; hiwi, ridge). History and cultureEarly settlementThe original settlement of Ngā Poutama was across the river at Hikurangi (also known as Poutama).[1] In the 1840s it had a population of about 200. Hikurangi was renamed in 1850 with the biblical name Karatia (Galatia), often spelled Karatea.[2] That settlement is now deserted; the urupa (burial ground) is still known as Hikurangi. The Kawana flour mill was gifted by Governor George Grey and named Kāwana Kerei in his honour. It operated for over 50 years from 1854 and was restored in 1980.[3] Matahiwi was a way station for the paddle steamers that were the main transportation up the Whanganui River before the building of the road. The remains of the sternwheeler Tuhua that grounded in 1890[4] are on the far side of Moutere Island.[5] Modern settlementMatahiwi is predominantly a sheep and beef farming area, much of it under management of Atihau-Whanganui Incorporation, which was established in 1970 to farm 101,000 acres of land vested into the Aotea Maori Land Council by Whanganui Māori between 1902–1904.[6] MaraeThere are three marae in the Matahiwi area. Maranganui Marae and Tuarua meeting house ar affiliated with Ngāti Tuera. Matahiwi or Ohotu Marae and Tānewai meeting house are affiliated with Ngā Poutama and Ngāti Tānewai. Waitahupārae Marae and Waitahupārae meeting house are affiliated with Ngāti Patutokotoko.[7][8] The present-day Matahiwi Marae, also known as Ohotu,[9] was established by Maehe Ranginui in 1902. His daughter Te Kehu, noting its similarity to the one they had left behind in Karatia, shed tears (wai) in the presence of her husband (tāne) Nikorima; the wharepuni (sleeping house) is thus known as Tānewai (a name also linked with the founder of Hikurangi).[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url = http://www.matahiwi-ohotu.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/a-Matahiwi-Marae-Charter.pdf|title = Matahiwi Marae Charter|date = 2011|accessdate = 18 November 2015|website = Matahiwi Marae Ohutu|publisher = |last = |first = }} 2. ^{{Cite journal|url = http://nzarchaeology.org/cms/NZJA/Vol%2016%201994/NZJA16.123-168Walton.pdf|title = Settlement Patterns in the Whanganui River Valley, 1839–1864|last = Walton|first = A.|date = 1994|journal = New Zealand Journal of Archaeology|doi = |pmid = |access-date = |volume = 16|pages = 123–168}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Ombler|first1=Kathy|last2=Ombler|first2=John|title=The Wanganui River: a scenic, historic, and wilderness experience|date=1981|publisher=Wanganui River Reserves Board|isbn=0-473-00100-4}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url = http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=WH18901103.2.8|title = Deserting the Sinking|last = |first = |date = 3 November 1890|work = |access-date = 17 November 2015|via = |newspaper = Wanganui Herald|page = 2}} 5. ^{{Cite web|title = Whanganui places: River Settlements|url = http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/whanganui-places/page-6|website = Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand|accessdate = 2015-11-17|language = en|first = Diana|last = Beaglehole|date = 20 March 2014}} 6. ^{{Cite web|title = Atihau-Whanganui Incorporation - Our Story|url = http://www.atihau.com/our-story.html|website = www.atihau.com|accessdate = 2015-11-17}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Te Kāhui Māngai directory|url= http://www.tkm.govt.nz/ |website=tkm.govt.nz|publisher=Te Puni Kōkiri}} 8. ^{{cite web |title=Māori Maps |url=https://maorimaps.com/map |website=maorimaps.com |publisher=Te Potiki National Trust}} 9. ^{{Cite web|title = Matahiwi (Ohotu)|url = http://www.maorimaps.com/full_marae/matahiwi-ohotu|website = Maori Maps|accessdate = 18 November 2015}} External links
