Wātene, Toki, 1881-1955 (b.1881, d.1955), Speaker/Kaikōrero

00:00- 31:42 Toke Wātene talks [in English] about the arrival of Tainui waka from Hawaiki in December (Hohua) on a spring tide. Hoturoa was the tohunga and Hotunui the commander. He also retells the journey of Tainui around the Waitematā, Manukau, and onto Kāwhia where the canoe was turned to stone.

Hotunui was accused of stealing kūmara and went to live at Hauraki. Marutūahu went in search of him and married two women of the area from whom the various Hauraki tribes descend. Toke outlines the various tribes of the area, from whom they descend and gives various pepeha relating to them, and traces his whakapapa.
