Pou whenua, Raoul Island

Nā te iwi o Ngāti Kurī o Te Tai Tokerau te pou whenua nei i whakatū ki te moutere o Raoul i ngā Kermadec. He hononga ō Ngāti Kurī ki ngā Kermadec. E ai ki ngā kōrero tuku iho, i pakaru tō rātou waka a Kurahaupō i Raoul. Nā te Aoteakē te nuinga o ngā tāngata o runga i a Kurahaupō i kawe ki Te Ika-a-Māui. Ka noho ētahi tokoiti ki te whakatika i te waka kātahi ka heke ko rātou ki Aotearoa.
