The anchor of the Tainui canoe

Whakapapa mai ai ngā iwi o Waikato me Hauraki i ngā kaihoe o te waka a Tainui. I muri mai o te whakareretanga o te waka i ana kauhoe ki tēnā me tēnā wāhi o Te Ika-a-Māui, ka tau te waka ki Kāwhia i te tai hauāuru. Nō muri mai ka tanumia te waka ki reira. Ka waiho te punga o te waka ki Mōkau kei te tonga o Kāwhia.
