Te Aitanga a Tumoana

TeAwa marena More Te Korohunga [2146] [MRIN: 910], son of Takamoana [2171] and Takaroa
[5876].
Rapunga Kupu Akoako: (korero taken from"Aupouri website - a brief history") There are two
families from which Te Aupouri as an independent iwi trace their descent; firstly the family of
More Te Korohunga of Ngati Ruanui and his wife Te Awa of Muriwhenua, who became known as
Ngati Te Awa (the descendants of Te Awa). The name 'Te Aupouri' came about from an event in
Pawarenga at the time of More Te Korohunga and Te Awa's children Kupe, Wheru, Te Ikanui, Te
Kakati and Te Uruhapainga. One day following the murder of Kupe, and her brother's revenge,
Ngati Te Awa were besieged in Makora Pa. Finally, Ngati Te Awa lit a huge fire covering the
Whangape Harbour with thick dark smoke. They managed to escape north across the harbour in the
midst of the dense smoke to their mother's lands further north. Hence the name Te Aupouri (au =
smoke, pouri = dark).

60 F iv. Te Uruhapainga [2181].
61 M v. Te Kakati [2180].
Rapunga Kupu Akoako: (korero taken from "the tribes of Muriwhenua"et al) Te
Aupouri joined with other tribes in the north to fight with Ngare Raumati in the
southern Bay of Islands. This was to avenge losses suffered in an earlier battle with
them, the battle of Rangianiwaniwa, which had taken place between Kaitaia and
Awanui. A notable tradition about this fight tells of Kakati, the youngest brother who
could not go to war because he suffered from a hernia. When the men returned from
battle, they found that many of thier wives were pregnant to Kakati. The Ngai Takoto
chief called a council as a result of which the warriors captured and castrated Kakati.
