Ko te hōtaka Māori tuatahi kia whakaaturia i ia wiki ko Koha (i tīmata i te tau 1980). I ruku te hōtaka nei ki ngā piki me ngā heke i te ao Māori. He hōtaka tēnei i mataara ai te hunga noho tāone ki ngā take o te kāinga, he āhuatanga hoki kia kite ai te Pākehā i te āhua noho a te Māori.
Ko Merata Mita te kaiwhakataki i tēnei kiriata i te tau 1981, e tiro ana ki ngā whare kaumātua i roto i Te Urewera. Ko Patu! tētahi o āna mahi whai hiranga, arā, he motuhenga e pā ana ki te haerenga mai o te kapa Springbok i te tau 1981. Ko te kaihautū o te kiriata ko Ray Waru. Ko ia tētahi i whakapau kaha ki te whakatū i te wāhanga Māori o Te Reo Tātaki, nāna hoki a Koha i tīmata. I te tau 2013 ka uiuitia a Waru, ā, ki tāna, ‘e pokea ana te hōtaka i ngā tukitukinga whakaaro, whakahaere hoki. I uia ngā pakirehua, me reo Māori te hōtaka me reo Pākehā rānei, me hangaia te hōtaka mō te Māori, mō tauiwi rānei? Inā kē te nui o te kōrero Māori i waenganui i ngā mea pēnei i a Herewini Murupaenga me ngā mea tauhou pēnei i ahau … I rangona tērā āhua i ngā wā katoa.’ Ki a ia ko te raru nui ‘kotahi noa iho te māngai e kōrero ana mō te hapori Māori’.
