He nui ngā kōrero mō te wāhi ngāwhāriki e mōhiotia nei ko Kuirau i nōhia ai e ngā tūpuna o Ngāti Whakaue. Ko Taokahu te ingoa o te roto mahana i te pūtahi o te tiriti o Ranolf me te rori o Lake, ka mutu, i mua he roto makariri kē.
He whare taupua te tupuna mana nui, tō Tūnohopū i reira i a ia e kaukau ana i te roto rā. I tere hau te rongo o Taokahu hei kaumanga mō ngā rangatira me ō rātau whānau.
He mokopuna a Tūtea nā Tūmahaurangi. Nā Tūtea ko Tamahika, ā, ko ia hoki tētehi rangatira o te wāhi rā. Ka moe a Tamahika i tana wahine ātaahua, i a Kuiarau. Heoi anō, i a Kuiarau e kaukau ana i Taokahu, ka mau ia i tētehi taniwha i te wai, ka heke hōhonu, ā, ka mate. Nā reira i tū ai ngā pihi o ngā atua, nō reira, ka koropupū i a rātau te roto kia mate hoki te taniwha rā. I muri mai ka tapaina te wāhi rā ki a Kuirau.
Qualities: innovation, diligence, wellbeing
