1 апр 1820 г. - Te Maiharanui sets up flax trading village at Takapuneke

Описание:

Te Maiharanui, Upoko Ariki of Ngāi Tahu, (a noble of high ranking birth) based at Kaiapoi establishes a trading village at Takapūneke to supply dressed flax fibre to British traders.

Te Maiharanui probably chose Takapūneke for a trading settlement because it was sheltered but
had relatively deep water reasonably close to shore. It was unlikely that the flax which was sold to European traders was grown or processed at Takapūneke itself. Some of the flax probably came from just across the harbour at Wainui, and some from as far away as Wairewa (Little River)
