History of Ngati-Wai, continued

From there they came to the place now called Whangaroa. The original name of this place was Te-Pokopoko-o-Hinenui-I-Te-Po-Te-Ure-Roa-O-Maui.¹

When Puhi arrived there he left the anchor of Mataatua there. The name of this anchor was Whaingaroa. The other anchor of Mataatua was left at the entrance to Whakatane.² Now when Puhi came from Whangaroa, which he called Whaingaroa, to Takou the canoe anchored there. The name of the river in which the canoe anchored was Kopuakawai. From there Mataatua went to repair the canoe with pohutukawa. The powers which Puhi brought there were: Koakoa and Tapirau. These are the two taniwhas living there today in the form of stone. Puhi stayed here and went into this territory known as Ngapuhi. This place was called Ngapuhi by the descendants of Puhi.
