54 | Sheet 8 — The Cook Strait (Henry Williams) Sheet | Nga Kirikiri | Ngākirikiri | Queen Charlotte Sound 4-5 May 1840 |
Ngākirikiri signed Te Tiriti at Queen Charlotte Sound on 5 May 1840. The identity of Ngākirikiri is uncertain. Some historians say this could be Matina Ngākirikiri, a Te Āti Awa wahine rangatira who was married to Hēnare Te Keha and lived at Golden Bay. Other sources say this could be Ngākirikiri, a male rangatira of Te Āti Awa who was the son of Te Kāra.
