He mea whakapakeke te wahine maruwehi a Hine-i-tūrama o Ngāti Whakaue i Ōhinemutu e te whānau Te Amohau i ngā tau o te 1800.
I a ia e taiohi tonu ana ka taumauhia a Hine-i-tūrama ki a Phillip Tapsell nō te whenua o Tenemāka. I taua wā rā, i te takiwā o te rima tekau mā rima tau te pakeke o Phillip, tōna whā tekau tau te rerekētanga o te taipakeketanga. Ko te haumarutanga o te whānau Tapsell te take matua o te taumau. Nā te hononga whakapapa ki te rangatira o Ngāi Te Rangi, ki a Tūpaea i kore ai a Hine-i-tūrama me te whānau Tapsell i patua e Ngāi Te Rangi me Te Arawa i a rāua tahi e pakanga ana i taua wā. I tae hoki a Hine-i-tūrama me tana tāne ki tō Tūpaea ki te whakatau i te pūehu i waenga i a rāua ko Te Arawa.
I haumaru te noho a te whānau, heoi, kāore noa iho i roa ka tū anō te puehu. Nā te patunga a Haerehuka o Te Arawa i a Te Hunga o Ngāti Hauā i whāia rawatia ai ia e Waharoa e ngaki ai ia i te mate rā, heoi, ko te whare me te toa o te whānau Tapsell i Maketū kē te utu. I ngana a Ngāti Hauā ki te kāwhaki i a Hine-i-tūrama, heoi, nā te wahine a Tūpaea, nā Murupara kē tērā i aukati atu.
He mea whakakotahi te whānau ka whakatika atu ai ki Mokoia e haumaru ai rātau. I hapū a Hine-i-tūrama i tērā wā, nō reira, i uaua tāna haere e tae ai ki te wāhi haumaru. Ka whānau mai tāna tama i Mokoia ka tapaina ai ki a Retireti hei tohu whakamaharatanga ki te taumahatanga i tau ai ki tō rātau whānau i Maketū.
I muri mai i te kōkiritanga ka hoki anō te whānau Tapsell ki Maketū ka haere ai mā runga kaipuke ki Poihākena ki te hoko utanga hou hei hoko atu mā rātau. I te hokinga ki te kāinga ka tau ki Whakatāne, ā, nā reira i moea ai rāua e te Pīhopa Katorika, e Pompallier. Nāna hoki ā rāua tamariki tokoono i iriiri.
Ko taua āhua anō rā, i ngana anō a Hine-i-tūrama ki te whakatau i te puehu i tana whakahē i te patunga o tētehi wahine i kāwhakina ai e Te Arawa hei ngaki i te utu o tētehi kāwhakinga e Ngāti Hauā.
Ka wehe a Hine-i-tūrama i Whakatāne i te tau 1864 ki te toro i tāna tamāhine, i a Ewa. Nā rāua ko tana tāne, ko Robert Hooper te Kīngitanga i kaha tautoko i Ōrākau, i te rohe o Waikato.
Ka whai wāhi a Hine-i-tūrama rāua ko Ewa i te pakanga rā i te 2 o Apireira, i te tau 1864. Ka mate rāua tahi, ā, ka nehua i te kauhanga o te riri i te taha o ngā tini Māori i mate hoki ai i reira.
I te tau 1978, ka huraina tētehi kōhatu whakamaharatanga i te urupā o Wharehau hei tohu whakanui ki te wahine autaia rā
