He mahere whenua e whakaatu ana i ētahi o ngā haerenga a Tamatea. Hei tā ngā iwi o Te Tai Tokerau ka hōpara a Tamatea ki ngā tahatika o Kaipara, o Hokianga, ka noho ki Awanui me Kaitāia i te whanga o Rangaunu. E ai ki ngā iwi o te moana o Tauranga, ka hōpara a Tamatea i ngā whenua ki reira. Ka tū tōna pā ki te tihi o Maunga Tawa. Ka whakatipu he pā harakeke, ka waiho tana tama a Ranginui ki Maunga Tawa. Whāia, ka matika koia te tipuna matua o Ngāti Ranginui. He kōrero tā ngā iwi rā a Ngāti Whitikaupeka, a Ngāti Hauiti a Ngāti Apa e kī ana, i haere whakauta a Tamatea kia tae ki ō rātou takiwā o Waiōuru me Taihape. Nāna i tuku he kōura ki te awa o Moawhango.
