The personalities and the events that led to Hinematioro giving the pou to Captain James Cook in 1769 was the inspiration that led to the creation of the mantra “Dual Heritage, Shared Futures”. These encounters between Te Aitanga‐a-Hauiti and the British visitors mark the first significant, positive exchange between Māori and Pākehā, and are the beginning of the dual heritage and shared history of present residents of Uawa.
