Nā te pakanga a te Pākehā me te Māori ka pōturi te ōhanga o Te Ika-a-Māui. Heoi i taua wā kei te whanake tō Te Wai Pounamu. I hua te ōhanga ki Te Wai Pounamu nā te wūru mai i ngā hipi i tukuna ki ngā raorao o Waitaha, tae atu ki te kōura i kitea ki Ōtākou me Te Tai Poutini. Ko ngā wūruheti ētahi o ngā whare mīharo rawa atu o te motu i ērā wā. Kei te teihana o Homebush e tūtata ana ki Darfield i Ōtautahi; i hangaia te wūruheti i te porokere mai runga tonu i te pāmu rā.
