  Puke Ariki - Taranaki Stories - Pacifist of Parihaka - Te Whiti o Rongomai
Te Whiti o Rongomai III was the leader of Parihaka, a Maori village nestled in a lahar-lumpy landscape between Mount Taranaki and the Tasman Sea.
Te Whiti's parents were Hone (Tohu) Kakahi, the great-great grandson of Takarangi (Ngati Awa or Te Atiawa) and Raumahora (Taranaki).
Te Miringa says it's not as simple as that and, from his own studies, has learnt the two leaders were at odds.

 XTRAMSN: Te Puke - Kiwifruit Capital Of New Zealand
Te Arawa, one of the original canoes which sailed from Hawaiki to a young New Zealand, supposedly landed at Maketu beach - a short distance from where the town would one day stand.
At this time there were no paths forged between Te Puke and Tauranga, and a journey between the two settlements involved a trip by boat, a rugged walk around the coast or via swampland.
In 1904 the first 'Chinese gooseberry' seeds were planted in Te Puke soil, and the combination of the region's sun and fertile dark soil soon turned kiwifruit into one of the country's major exports.

 The Story of Lata
So, the bird said to Lata, "If you want a te puke follow me. If you see me landing on a tree and you hear me crying, that means that that is the tree you should cut for a te puke." When the bird landed on a tree something surprising happened.
When the ghost made the te puke they used the traditional type of sennit rope, and when they took it down to the sea they covered it over with laufala so that people looking at Lata's te puke could not see the real rope underneath the laufala.
But they had to call it te puke after the time that it rains and the floods run - because it was during such a te puke when the vaka was brought down to sea and called 'te puke.
