Ka hia tekau mano tau nōhia ai te rohe nei e ngā kohinga tāngata tokoiti noa. Ka tohu ngā ahu otaota (midden) a ngā Lapita ki ā rātou kai – i ngā moutere Ha’apai kei Tonga, kainga ai ngā manu o te whenua me te moana; i Kanaki (New Caledonia), i Whītī, kainga ai e rātou tētahi momo ngārara; ki Whītī kainga ai te ngārara iguanid. Heoi, nō te putanga atu ki Poronihia Tawhiti mā runga i ō rātou waka ama, ka rerekē ā rātou kai. He iti iho ngā kai; ko ētahi momo i kainga e rātou kia pau rawa. Nā te ruarua o ngā kākano, ngā kōpura (tuber), ngā hua rakau hei kai, heria ai e ngā Lapita ā rātou ake kararehe, tipu.
