Kei te tomokanga ki te whanga o Tauranga i Te Moana-a-Toitehuatahi, ko te maunga a Mauao. Kei ōna taketake ngā rohe o Ngāti Ranginui, o Ngāi Te Rangi, o Ngāti Pūkenga. He nui te whanaungatanga i waenganui i ngā iwi i roto i ngā tau – ngā heke, ngā pakanga, ngā hononga tahi. I te tau 1864, i toa ngā iwi nei i tētahi pakanga nui ki ngā hōia Pākehā. Ka noho te pakanga o Pukehinahina hei whakaata i te māia me te mōhio o ngā iwi kaha o Tauranga.
