About Josef (José) Manuel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zTua6NBGLA
Manuel José was a Spaniard who arrived in New Zealand in the late 1830s, he became known to Maori as Manuera, and was leading trader in Ngati Porou territory. In 1861 he established a trading-post at Te Awanui, between Waipiro Bay and the mouth of the Waiapu River. He owned five horses and held half an acre of Ngati Porou land 'by sufferance', paying rent of £12 a year. An olive tree, which still stands, marks the site of his store.
He had 5 Maori Wives each bearing children and is the ancestor of the largest family in New Zealand which numbers over 16,000 descendents.
Manuel José de Frutos (1811-1873) from Valverde del Majano in Segovia, he arrived to New Zealand around 1833 and lived much of his life as a trader among the Māori people of Ngati Porou. He retired to Tikapa on the Waiapu River.[1][2]
The 2014 play "Paniora" by Briar Grace-Smith was inspired by his legacy.[6][7]
