==Pre-European history== Akuaku was named by Pāoa, captain of the ''Horouta'' waka, around 1350.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kōkai and Whareponga |url=http://www.gisborneherald.co.nz/Pdf.aspx?type=feature&id=2420&name=Nga+Maunga+Korero+page+001.pdf |newspaper=Gisborne Herald |location=Gisborne, New Zealand |date=2 November 2007 |page=20 |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref> The name is literally translated as "scraper", or to "scrape out" or "cleanse".

===Ngāti Ruanuku and Pākānui=== Akuaku was the site of one of the main Ngāti Ruanuku pā, where the tribe welcomed Pākānui ashore before he eventually killed many of them in a battle at Whareponga called ''Te Ika-Kōpara-rua'' (two fish in one net). After observing Ngāti Ruanuku as their guest, Pākānui and his 90 men trapped members of the tribe, including their chief, Rangi-rākai-kura, in nets while they were fishing, before killing them with their patu. This was done for Pākānui's grandmother, Materoa, who wanted the whānau's mana restored after Ngāti Ruanuku killed her father, Poroumātā, a former resident of the area.<ref name="TeAitangaAMate" /><ref name="TeTaitimuroa">{{cite news |title=The Battle of Te Tai-timu-roa – ''The Long High Tide'' |url=http://www.gisborneherald.co.nz/Pdf.aspx?type=feature&id=3897&name=Nga+Maunga+Korero+page+001.pdf |newspaper=Gisborne Herald |location=Gisborne, New Zealand |date=2007 |orig-year=or post 2007|page=20 |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=April 2015}}

Survivors from Ngāti Ruanuku retreated to the Waiapu Valley, where they found refuge among the Wahine-iti people while planning their attack on Pākānui. When Pākānui's scouts informed him Ngāti Ruanuku were returning to Whareponga, he put a plan into action. His warriors were concealed up small streams along the beach in between Whareponga and Akuaku's Mataahu Point, with Pākānui himself stationed at the point (at {{coord|37|59|7|S|178|22|4.5|E|type:landmark_region:NZ|display=inline|name=Mataahu Point}}). His brothers Riki-pāpaki and Raro-taka, who were fast runners, challenged Ngāti Ruanuku at Whareponga, then ran away towards the point. Ngāti Ruanuku chased them, and by the time they reached Pākānui, they were exhausted. At this point Pākānui's warriors emerged from their hiding place, and killed the entire party. There were so many bodies lining the beach after the battle that they formed a barrier for the sea, giving rise to the battle's name ''Te Tai-timu-roa'' (The long high-tide). The other name of the battle, ''Te Poho-wera'' (The Burnt-breast), refers to the fact that when the bodies of Ngāti Ruanuku were customarily cooked to be eaten, some of the victim's breasts were burnt.<ref name="TeTaitimuroa" />{{Failed verification|date=April 2015}}

The last members of Ngāti Ruanuku were eventually killed inland up the Tapuaeroa River and at Kāhui-tara (a pā at {{coord|37|55|43|S|178|17|15|E|type:landmark_region:NZ|display=inline|name=Kāhui-tara pā}}).<ref name="TeTaitimuroa" />{{Failed verification|date=April 2015}}<ref name="Wilson1913">Wilson, J.A.

===Te Whānau-a-Rākairoa=== Māori say the Akuaku area was gifted to Rākairoa's children, Te Haemata and Pona-pātukia – the east given by Takapū-te-rakahia, and the west by Takapu-atua, daughter of Iritekura. Rākairoa is the ancestor of Te Whānau-a-Rākairoa, a hapū of Ngāti Porou that has spread widely from Akuaku.

===Te Rākau i Mataahu=== In 1871, Ropata Wahawaha was presented with a large Union Jack, and a sword of honour from Queen Victoria, for his services in the New Zealand Wars.<ref name="Fowler1961">{{cite journal |last=Fowler |first=Leo |date=December 1961 |title=Te Rakau i Mataahu |journal=Te Ao Hou [The New World] |volume=37 |pages=9–12 |location=Wellington, N.Z. |publisher=Department of Māori Affairs for the Māori Purposes Fund Board |issn=0040-0300 |oclc=750095483 |access-date=15 May 2012 |url=http://teaohou.natlib.govt.nz/journals/teaohou/issue/Mao37TeA/c9.html}}</ref><ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /> On 29 July 1872<ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /> (or in June, 1871),<ref name="Fowler1961" /> having just returned from a ceremony in his honour in Wellington, Ropata held a hui to raise the flag.<ref name="Fowler1961" /><ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /> He had erected a large flag pole called ''Te Rākau i Mataahu'' to fly the flag from on Mataahu Point.<ref name="Carter2010" /><ref name="Fowler1961" /><ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /> The site was chosen because it was a traditional landing point for waka taua (war canoes) after returning from an expedition.<ref name="Fowler1961" /> The flag would be raised to alert British forces that the people were loyal to the crown, so they would not be fired upon.<ref name="Carter2010" />

The ceremony, held to reaffirm the loyalty of Ngāti Porou and neighbouring tribes to the Crown, was attended by three thousand people, and made Akuaku and Mataahu the centre of huge attention.<ref name="Fowler1961" /><ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /> Attendees swore their allegiance by marching under the flag and taking part in a service led by the Rev. Mohi Tūrei and Ropata himself. All but one who attended swore the oath. The lone abstainer ran away from the flag, and chanted a haka of defiance:<ref name="Fowler1961" />

<blockquote>''Tieke taretare; tieke taretare; Pō! Tū ana i waho e.''<br /> Loosely translated as: Thou ragged Jack, thou tattered Jack; Behold! I stand aloof from thy circle.<ref name="Fowler1961" /></blockquote>

Another source quotes the haka as:

<blockquote>''Tieke taretare pō tū mai i waho! Tū ana au i waho ma koutou e tangi ki te kuia nei! Kāore au e tangi ki a ia!''<br /> Thou ragged Jack, behold I stand outside the circle! I stand outside thy circle and leave you all to lament to this old lady! I will not lament her!<ref name="TeRakauIMataahu" /></blockquote>

The flagstaff was later moved to a point above the Akuaku marae.<ref name="Carter2010" /> In 1960, after Akuaku had been deserted, it was moved again to nearby Kiekie Marae, where it stands today (at {{coord|37|59|36.07|S|178|19|4.86|E|type:landmark_region:NZ|display=inline|name=Te Rākau i Mataahu (The Flagstaff at Mataahu), Kiekie Marae}}). Kiekie Marae is also now in possession of Ropata's flag.<ref name="Fowler1961" />

===Church opening and hui=== Another large hui was held at Akuaku to consecrate the church on 28 May 1884. Ropata, who had been in Gisborne, travelled back to Akuaku on the ship ''Rosina'', which also brought many other prominent guests. Nearly 1,000 Māori attended, as well as many European leaders.<ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-5-31" /><ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-6-7">{{cite news |title=The Akuaku Meeting |url=http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=PBH18840607.2.9&e=-------10--1----0-- |newspaper=Poverty Bay Herald |location=Gisborne, New Zealand |volume=XI |issue=4006 |oclc=608881041 |date=7 June 1884 |page=2 |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref>

A discussion took place about the sale of Māori land to the New Zealand Native Land Settlement Company, and whether laws and courts were necessary, given the Māori had no intention of selling the land. There were three principal speakers in the discussion. The first, John Sheehan, said that it was not a matter of ''if'', but rather ''when'', the land would be sold, and suggested Māori would get a better deal if they sold the land sooner, while the system was still fair. Wi Pere argued for the formation of committees to oversee ownership and possible sale of the land.<ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-5-31" /><ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-6-7" /> Finally, Ropata Wahawaha, who "appeared to have no faith in the Companies or in private people, or in Government or in Parliament, or in laws, or in judges, or in public officials",<ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-5-31" /> strongly advised Māori to keep their land, pointing out that the majority of the land north of Akuaku was "as yet comparatively untroubled with European Speculations".<ref name="PovertyBayHerald1884-5-31" />

==Akuaku School== Akuaku School was opened in March 1874. A year later, while the three other Māori schools in the Waiapu district had achieved only mediocre results due to irregular attendance, Akuaku School was performing well. Its students had regular attendance records, were described as "clean and well dressed", and were well advanced in reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. At the time, the school had at least 50 students, half girls and half boys. The first teachers of the school were Mr. and Mrs. Brown.<ref>Campbell, J. H., R.M.

With no one to care for it, the wharenui fell down. Former residents of Akuaku and their descendants now affiliate with nearby Kiekie Marae, where Ropata's flagpole stands today. By 2000, three urupā (cemeteries) were all that remained of Akuaku. Ropata's victim's remains had been recently exhumed and transferred to the entrance of one these cemeteries from their original burial place halfway between Akuaku and the Mataahu point. One of Akuaku's cemeteries was still in use, though difficulty getting to it – and a lack of maintenance – had led it to become an unpopular burial site.<ref name="Carter2010" /> The land is currently administered by the Akuaku A3 Trust, has no one living on it, and is classified as having no current use.<ref name="AkuakuA3Trust">{{cite web |url=http://www.gdc.govt.nz/assets/CommitteeMeetings/10-591-Report.pdf |title=Whenua Rahui Re-Application Valuation No. 07830-652-00: Report to Finance and Monitoring Committee for decision |first=Adrian |last=Stewart |date=16 September 2010 |publisher=Gisborne District Council |location=Gisborne, New Zealand |access-date=15 May 2012}}</ref><ref name="MapTV" />
