He whata kai tēnei i tauirahia mai i ngā kōrero a te mihinare o te rau tau 1800, ko William Yate. Kua rākaitia ki te haki, ā, ko te whata nui nei hei pupuri i ngā hākari ā-iwi. Ākene pea, i hangaia ēnei i muri i te taenga mai o te Pākehā. He rite tonu ngā hākari nui a te Māori i ngā wā o te tauhokohoko.
