Did tamati waka nene have childrend?

Answer 1

I have very little information on the children of Tamati Waka Nene. The reason for this may be that when and where he was born, families did not keep written records of their activities. His official biography on the official Dictionary of New Zealand says that he outlived his children, but doesn't say who they were. Link to that site below.

Ran into the following on one of the New Zealand sites for the Cook Family: Kia ora whanau your comment about Kareana who was Hohaias daughter is correct. Waaka Nene could not have children so Patuone gave him one of his mokopuna. I myself am a 5th generation from Patuone. My line is direct as it is my fathers whakapapa. His great grandfather was Raunatiri who was the second youngest mokopuna of Patuones and the second youngest child of Hohaia. Kareana was a daughter she came after Ani Karo.
