Tamatekapua poupou

Ko Tamatekapua tērā te poupou i waenganui. Koia te rangatira o runga i a Te Arawa. Kua mau he poutoti ki ngā waewae, he maharatanga ki te wā i tāhae ia i ngā hua o tētahi rākau i Hawaiki. Koinei tētahi o ngā take i wehe ai a Te Arawa ki Aotearoa. Nō te taenga ki Aotearoa ka tahuri ngā rangatira ki te taunaha i te whenua.
