I te hīnga ake a Māui i tana ika i te kōpū o Hinemoana, ko te wāhanga tuatahi i puea ake, ko te tihi o Hikurangi, te maunga tapu o Ngāti Porou. Nō muri i a Māui ka puta ko ngā tīpuna pēnei i a Toi, i a Paikea – i kau mai i Hawaiki mā runga tohorā, i a Te Kani-a-Takirau – te ariki i whaka-kahore i te tono kia tū hei kīngi mō ngā iwi Māori, ā, i muri mai, ko te tipua nei, a Tā Āpirana Ngata. Ko Hikurangi maunga te tohu whakaaturanga mō te tū mana motuhake o Ngāti Porou me tōna kotahitanga.
