Maniaroa

Ko Maniaroa marae kei te takutai moana o Awakino, 75 kirometa ki te tonga-a-uru o Te Kuiti i te Huarahi Matua 3. Ō Maniaroa ake hapū ko Ngāti Rākei, Rungaterangi me Waiora.

Tō te tupuna whare ingoa ko Te Kohaarua. Ko ō te marae herenga kōrero ki a Tainui waka, me Maniapoto whānui.

I tōna whakawhitinga mai ki Aotearoa, ka heke iho ngētehi o te waka Tainui, i te raki o Maniaroa marae, ki Mōkau. Kei reira te punga kowhatu o te waka e takoto ana inaianei – kua noho mai i ngā tuāpapa mārō o Maniaroa marae. Ka hangaia te marae, whakanuihia ake, kātahi ka nekehia mō ngā wa maha, mai ngā tau 1800s ki waenganui 1900s. I whakatuwheratia te tupuna whare tuatoru i te tau 1987.
