Ko ‘te mahi piupiu’ i whakaaturia tuatahitia e Te Kotahitanga o Waiataha i te tau 1977 ki te Taiopenga o Te Moana-nui-ā-Kiwa, e mōhiotia i tēnei rā ko Te Matatini, i te tau 1986 i mahia hei poi ki te Aotearoa Maori Festival of Arts.
I titoa e Tihi Puanaki (Ngāti Hine), e kōrero ana te waiata mō te mahinga piupiu.
Kua ārahi e Tihi te rōpū Te Kotahitanga o Waitaha nō ngā tau 1970, i te wā i whakakotahi mai ngā pia o te whare manaaki mahi ā-rehe ki Ōtautahi. I te tau 2020, i whakawhiwhia a ia ki te tohu Te Waka Toi mōna kua whakapau kaha ki te kapa haka.
I taua kiriata, ka kōrero a Punaki rāua ko Roberta Arahanga (Ngā Tamaterā, Te Arawa, Ngāpuhi) mō te titonga o te waiata.
