He paihana patu kiore kei te utaina ki te waka topa hei hari ki Hauturu, i te tau 2004. Nā te kai a te kiore i ngā hua rākau me ngā kararehe māori, kei te whakapau kaha a Te Papa Atawhai ki te patu i ngā kiore kei ngā moutere o te Karauna.
Tēnā whakarongo ki ngā āwangawanga kei mate ngā tuatara i te paihana.
Tuhinga
E whakaaro ana a Te Papa Atawhai ki te ruirui i tētahi paihana patu kiore ki runga i te moutere o Hauturu, arā i te rohe moana o Ngāti Wai, ahakoa ngā mataku kua mate ētahi tuatara o reira, ko te mea kē ka piko katoa te moutere rā i te kiore, ahakoa kāore a Ngāti Wai te hiahia i ngā kiore, hei tā Hōri Parata o te poari kaitiaki e pai kē atu te āta patu haere i ngā kiore. I te mea he tino taonga te tuatara ki a rātou.
