He tama tēnei nā Mātaatua me Te Arawa i whānau mai ki a Pātara Pāngara Ngawhika rāua tahi ko Wākata Taituha. Ona tātai whakaheke, ko Ngāti Whakahemo me Ngati Rangiteaorere ki te taha o tōna matua, ki te taha o tana whaea, he uri ia na Ngāi Taiwhakaea rāua ko Ngāti Kawa. Ahakoa i whanau mai i roto o Ngati Whakahemo. Nā Ngai Taiwhakaea aia i whakatangata ki Te Pāroa, takiwā o Whakatane. Nā te tungāne o tana whaea, na Te Rau rāua ko tana wahine, na Matu ia i whakapakeke.  I konei, i Te Paroa, ka rehita ia hei hoia mo te rua tekau mā waru

He nui ngā korero mōna, engari ka waiho ma āna mokopuna hei whakakī

He tangata mahaki, he toa, he manawanui na ōna iwi katoa.

E kore koe e warewaretia i roto i te tokomaha

1914 - 1992
