Roore Erueti was a Tainui Historian and a noted repository of whakapapa.[1] He served as an advisor to King Korokī Mahuta and as the spokesperson for Kingitanga leader, Te Puea Herangi. In 1946, speaking on Te Puea's behalf, Rore accepted the compensation settlement for the 1864 Confiscation of Waikato Land by the Crown.[2] In 1947, Roore was appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his service to the Māori people (see 1947 Birthday Honours (New Zealand)#Officer (OBE)).

Ngāti Māhanga

For the most part Waata Roore Erueti was known simply as Roore Erueti. Sometimes he used the surname Edwards - the English equivalent of Erueti. Roore was born in 1868 at Ngāruawāhia, North of Hamilton.[3] His Mother was Rāhera Waata of Ngāti Kuku, a hapu of Ngāti Māhanga. Roore was raised by Te Aopouri Waata, his Mother's brother. In his late twenties, Roore had already begun to make regular appearances in the Native Land Court, reciting complex descent lines and possessed of narratives that filled the gaps in the evidence of other Witnesses. In a post confiscation context, there was a huge contest for remaining Maori land blocks and having whakapapa knowledge improved the chances of a successful outcome for the hapu. Successful witnesses quickly became spokesman and leaders.

Ngāti Apakura

However, Roore's skillset took him further afield. His Father was Hemi Erueti of Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Puhiawe and Ngāti Hikairo. Although not to the same extent as his involvement with Ngāti Mahanga, Rore both acknowledged and participated in matters pertinent to his Father's people. In 1947, Rore was a co-petitioner of Karena Tamaki's Petition 29/1947 to the Crown relating to Ngāti Apakura land near Lake Ngāroto.
