Nō te tau 1908 tēnei whakaahua o ēnei kaiārahi o te Rōpū Poronihia, a Te Pēhi (taha mauī) rāua ko Te Mete (S. Percy Smith). I whakaputahia e rātou ko te tokomaha o ngā kaimātai ahurea Pākehā mā roto i te Puka o te Rōpū Poronihia ā rātou ariā e pā ana ki te takenga mai o te Māori me tana taenga ki Aotearoa.
