Signing details
Unfortunately, there are few references to Te Kauā and his hapū in published sources. Based on those who signed before and after him, he is likely to have been from inland Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands) – Pī was based at Waimā, and Tāreha had many interests from Kerikeri inland. On 28 October 1835 Te Kauā signed He Whakaputanga with a zigzag-like tohu, and on 6 February 1840 signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi with a similar mark.
