Court-yard in the Pa, or Native village of Piptea / Hiko the son of Te Pehi Kupe (or Tupai Cupa). Plate 5. From the book: Illustrations to Adventure in New Zealand

The accompanying text reads:

1 - Court-yard in the pa, or native village of Pipitea. This is the centre of the town of Wellington. It affords a very fair representation of the wretched dwelling places from which the natives are recommended by their Official Protectors never to remove.  

2 - Hiko the son of Te Pehi Kupe (or Tupai Cupa, as he was formerly called when he visited England in 1826). Hiko is the highest chief in Cook's Strait, by descent. But the intrigues of Rauperaha have almost annihilated his influence. He is of mild and affable demeanour, and dignified bearing; but no trust can be placed in his word, he speaks almost always ironically, and tells direct falsehoods without shame. He is sitting on the carved stern of a war canoe.
