I am inquiring about a woman called whakarongo she lived in the manawatu area Palmerston North. She was born about 1795 and she was kidnapped round about the 1820,s. and taken up north. She later returned to the manawatu area after christianity was introduced. She had a brother called Hirawanu Kaimokopuna whom was a chief of the Rangitane people and he was considered by William Colenso as the great chief of the upper part and the lower part of the manawatu river.
