E kai hākari ana tētahi āpiha taua moana nō Amerikana i te taha o tētahi kuia nō Tainui i Ngāruawāhia i te marama o Māehe,1943. Ko Ngāruawāhia te pokapū o te Kīngitanga, ka mutu ko Te Puea Hērangi tōna rangatira i taua wā. Ahakoa i ātete tonu a Te Puea i te haere ki te pakanga, he nui tonu te mahi a tana iwi ki te mahi moni, mahi kai hoki me te manaaki i ngā taotū. Nō te marama o Mei i te tau 1942 ka tau mai ngā Amerikana, ā, he maha ngā wā ka pōhiringia ki runga o Tūrangawaewae. Heoi, ka ara tonu ngā whakatutū puehu i waenganui i ngā hōia Amerikana me ngā tāne Māori. Otirā, he maha tonu ngā whakahoatanga i waenga i ngā iwi, me te manaaki tonu a te iwi Māori i ngā hōia o tāwāhi.
