Ko Tamatekapua te tipuna o Te Arawa tēnei poupou e hīkoi poutoti ai, i te whare Tamatekapua i Ōhinemutu. I kake a ia mā runga poutoti ki te whānako i ngā hua rākau a te rangatira a Uenuku i Hawaiki, te kāinga tūturu o te Māori. Ka mōhio a Uenuku mō tēnei ka riri; koinei tētahi o ngā take i whakarere a Tamatekapua i Hawaiki ka haere ki Aotearoa mā runga i te waka Te Arawa.
