Kōrero: Te Arawa
I tapaina te wharenui nei ki a Tamatekapua, te rangatira o Te Arawa. Nō te tau 1878 ka hangaia te whare hei whakaū i te maungārongo i waenganui i a Te Arawa rāua ko Waikato. Ko ētahi o ngā papa mō te whare i tangohia i tētahi waka ko Hamama te ingoa, ko ētahi i tangohia i Parerewha he whare whakairo ka tū ki te moutere o Pateko i Rotoiti. I te tau 1939 ka turakina te wharenui tawhito, ā, nō te tau 1943 ka whakatuwheratia anōtia.
