(korero taken from "the tribes of Muriwhenua") The principal ancestor of Ngai Takoto is
Tuwhakatere, a descendant of both Kauri and Tumoana. His first wife was Tuterangiatohia who
begat Tamahui, Te Whai and others. His second wife was Tupoia, the first born of Haiti-
Taimarangai and an ariki of Ngati Kahu. Ngai Takoto was a geographically extensive tribe from
Murimoto to Paparore, its three most significant locations were; Houhora, Waimanoni and Te Make
(near Kaitaia). Of these three Waimanoni was the most important. This position of influence and
plenty enjoyed by Ngai Takoto was reversed in the 1830s and 1840s. They together with Te Paatu
and Patukoraha were absent in the Far North, although they were originally drawn there to settle
internecine strife. Thier lands were unoccupied. Panakareao assumed the role of guardian to oversee
thier territory and exercised the right to authorise use of it. With the arrival of European settlers,
lands passed from Maori to Non Maori ownership. From that period, for a variety of reasons and
through the activities of a number of others, Ngai Takoto lost all thier land except for small pieces in
Te Kao and Pakohu near Te Hapua. They were absorbed into Te Aupouri who in the 19th century
were far more adept at securing thier land by astute employment of influential Pakeha and especially
missionaries. Lately however despite thier relatively small number Ngai Takoto has experienced a
moral if not material resurgence.

Rapunga Kupu Akoako: (korero taken from "the tribes of Muriwhenua"et al) Te Wahanui;
was a tremendous warrior who chaffed at being under the mana of his older brothers Tamahui and
Te Whai. He decided that he would carve out an empire and turangawaewae for himself through
conquest. Before the tribe of Ngai Takoto he stated his intentions and uttered this proverb "Taku
pa, ko Tehehaoa, taku mara ko Rangatetaua, taku ora ki tua" ("My pa is Tehehaoa, my garden,
Rangatetaua, but my fortune is to be found elsewhere"). His brothers decided to support him but
Tuwhakatere, by now an elderly man, pleaded with his favourite and youngest son, Hoka who had a
club foot, not to follow his brothers into battle because of his disability. However, Hoka ignored his
