Kahupeka naming the land

Nā Cliff Whitinga tēnei whakaahua, ko Kahupeka te tipuna rongonui o Tainui. Nāna i tapa te maha o ngā tohu whenua o te rohe, pērā i ngā maunga a Pirongia me Te Aroha. Ko tētahi tikanga kerēme i te whenua, ko te taunaha i raro i tētahi tipuna – pērā i a Kahupeka – nāna te whenua i kite tuatahi, nāna te whenua i tapa.
