Tuhiraki (Mt Bossu)

Keria ai e Rākaihautū ngā roto nui o Te Wai Pounamu ki tana kō, a Tuhiraki. Kia oti tana tūhura i te whenua ka haere a Rākaihautū ki Horomaka (Banks Peninsula) noho ai. Ka huri tana kō a Tuhiraki (Mt Bossu) hei maunga i te whanga o Hakaroa. Kei tētahi taha o te whanga ko Tuhiraki, kei tētahi taha, ko te tāone o Hakaroa.

Error - The kō (digging stick) of Rakaihautu is Tūwhakaroria not Tuhiraki. Tuhiraki is the name of the mountain that Rakaihautu planted his kō, Tūwhakaroria in after exploring Te Waipounamu.
