Tūtāmure married Hine-i-kauia. She was the daughter of Muriwai, who had arrived on the Mataatua canoe. This whakapapa shows how their union also linked Te Whakatōhea with the Rangimatoru canoe and on down to two other sub-tribes.

Mataatua canoe and others landed on Kauai. Do you have genealogy to that point? I was told by a group in Rotorua that I was related but I don't know how. Is there any genealogy to the point of arriving on Kauai?
