He rahi ngā kōrero a ngā tūpuna mō te takenga o ngā maunga o Te Ika-a-Māui. Nā Pei Te Hurinui Jones o Ngāti Maniapoto i homai tētahi kōrero mō Tongariro me āna wāhine e rua, a Pīhanga rāua ko Ngāuruhoe. Heoi, ka hiahia a Taranaki me ētahi atu o te kāhui maunga i ngā wāhine nei; ka pakanga ngā maunga. I te taunga o te puehu, kua marara kē ngā maunga rā ki ngā pito o te whenua, ki ngā wāhi tū ai rātou i tēnei rā. Ka tau a Whakaari, rātou ko Paepae-o-Aotea, ko Moutohorā ki waho atu o Whakatāne. I tau a Pūtauaki ki uta, ki te tonga o Whakatāne.
