Whāngāpē

Ko Ngāti Ruānui te iwi tōmua kia noho ki Whāngāpē. I tētahi wā e whakapaea ana rātou e te hoariri ki tō rātou pā ki Pawarenga. Ka taka ki tētahi pō, ka tahuna e rātou ō rātou kākahu me ō rātou taonga kia auahi, kātahi ka whakawhiti rātou ki tērā taha o te whanga. Mai i taua wā, mōhiotia ai taua iwi, ko Te Aupōuri.
