Kōrero: Papatūānuku
He wā anō ka taunahatia he whenua e te rangatira, mā te whakarite i taua whenua ki tētahi wāhi o tōna tinana. I te taunga o Te Arawa ki Aotearoa, ka taunahatia e tōna rangatira e Tamatekapua te kūrae o Ōkurei i Maketū, mā te whakarite i taua wāhi ki te kūrei o tōna ihu. Inarā ko te ingoa whānui o taua wāhi ko Te Kūreitanga-o-te-ihu-o-Tamatekapua. Ko Tamatekapua te tekoteko kei te whare i tapaina mōna i Ōhinemutu, takiwā ki Rotorua.
