Kei te kūrae o Onehunga ngā Māori nei e tū ana ki te mākete o Tāmaki i te tau 1856. E kī ana te tohungatā a William Strutt i roto i tana hautaka, ‘He whanga ātaahua kī ana i ngā waka utanga nui hei kawe ki ngā mākete. E pae ana ngā waka, ā, e harikoa ana ngā Māori e waiata ana, ā, kua paea ō rātou painga i te wā ka whakarongo te iwi ki te kauhau a te rangatira. Kua herea ngā kete ki ngā tuarā o ngā hāpai ō. Kei roto i ngā kete he kamokamo, he paukena e wahahia ana, ā, ko ētahi kei te ā i ngā poaka ki te mākete.’
