He tauira tēnei o te kāinga Māori i tū ki te pūaha o te Mākōtukutuku ki Wairarapa e 600 tau ki muri. He nui ngā māra kai kei raro iho me ngā kāinga tūwatawata. E pēnei tonu ana te āhua o ngā pā Māori tae mai ki te mutunga o te rautau 1800. Ko te whakaaro a ētahi Pākehā ‘kia whakakorea rawatia te tūāhua o te kotahitanga. Koirā te pūtake o tā rātou āhuatanga noho’. (Ngā Tautohe o te Pāremata, tau 1870, wah. 9, wh 361)
