Waima is a community in the south Hokianga area of Northland, New Zealand. State Highway 12 runs through the area. The Waima River flows through the Waima Valley into the Hokianga Harbour. Rawene is to the north west, and Kaikohe is to the north east. ==History== In 1810, an encounter at Waima during the Musket Wars resulted in the death of the Ngā Puhi chief Te Tauroto. Te Whareumu was killed and Muriwai mortally wounded in a skirmish in March 1828. The chief of the sub tribe Te Mahurehure and Te Urikaiwhare was Mohi Tawhai (d.1875), who was a signatory to the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 and was known as the peace maker of the North. Waima was the site of a Wesleyan mission in the mid 19th century. In the 1870s timber milling commenced in the area. In 1898, people of Waima refused to pay a tax on dogs, and marched on Rawene in the Dog Tax War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waima, Northland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
