Raukawa

He tohu te raukawa ki te aroha. Ka whenumi te raukawa me te hinu o te hīnau hei kakara; i pania ki tōna kiri e Māhinaarangi, te wahine tapairu rongonui nō Te Tai Rāwhiti. Ka rongo a Tūrongo o Waikato i te kakara. Whāia, ka moe te tokorua nei, ka tapaina tā rāua tamaiti ko Raukawa, ka tū a ia hei tipuna nui o Ngāti Raukawa.
