Te Rangimonoa Tahi-Rangihau

Ka whai pānga a Te Rangimonoa ki ngā hapū maha o roto o Ngai Tūhoe, me ngā iwi maha hoki o te takere o te waka o Te Arawa.  I whānau mai ia ki runga o Pukeroa i Rotorua.  He mokopuna nā te kōhanga reo o Te Rongopai, rāua ko te kohanga reo o Pukeroa Oruawhata.  I whakapakekehia mai ia i te kōhanga o Tuhoe, i te mārua o Ruatāhuna "paku kore".  I waimarie ia ki te tipu mai ki ngā rekereke o wōna karawa i ngā rā Tekaumārua o te haahi Ringatū, me ngā hui nui o te iwi. I kuraina hoki ia ki Te Wharekura o Huirau, nō reira i tino aro ai ia ki ngā ahuatanga o tō tātou reo. Kai Te Rotoruanui tonu rātau ko tana hoa rangatira me tana whānau e noho ana, toko rima a rāua tamariki kai te Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ruamata rātau e ako ana. He kaikirimana tana mahi i tēnei wā, he whai i te oranga o tana whānau te mahinga nui.
