Ko Pūkākī tēnei, he tupuna nui o te iwi o Ngāti Whakaue. I te tau 1997 ka pōwhiritia a ia ki te wā kāinga e ōna uri whakaheke, i te whakaaetanga o te whare pupuri taonga i Tāmaki-makau-rau kia tukua a ia kia hoki. He aronga tēnei ki te tūranga o Ngāti Whakaue hei kaitiaki o te taonga nei. Nō muri kawea ai a Pūkākī ki te whare o te kaunihera ā-rohe o Rotorua tū ai, e tū ana a ia ki reira i ēnei rā. I ngā wā o mua i tū a Pūkākī ki te waharoa o te marae o Te Papa-i-Ouru i Ōhinemutu.
