Tekau ngā waka ka wehe i Rarotonga

Tekau ngā waka ka wehe i Rarotonga

Nā te rorohiko tētahi haerenga i tauira, i runga i te pupuhi o ngā hau me ngā au o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, tāpae ki te pai o ngā waka hourua o ngā tīpuna. I tēnei heke ā-rorohiko, e rima (te ara kōwhai) o ngā waka tekau i wehe ki te tonga-mā-uru, ka tau ki Aotearoa. Ko ētahi kāore i tau ki Aotearoa, heoi i taea tonu e rātou te hoki ki Poronihia ki te Rāwhiti mā te haere kōpekapeka ki te ihu tonu o te hau pūmau (ara kākāriki).
