Concerning Te Wharewharenga-i-te-rangi of Ngāti Hako, a brief extract from 'Ancient History of the Maori'

Ko whare, ara ko wharewharenga-i-te-rangi.

Ka noho a Whare me tana iwi i Hau-raki i to ratou kainga i Taumaha-rua i roto i te awa o O-hine-muri.

Ka tae ki aua ra ka pouri te ngakau o Whare ki te mahi whakatete o tana iwi ki ana whakahau, a ka riri aia, a ka taraa te rangi i Whare kia ua te ua o te rangi kia tinga ai te manawa whakahi o tana iwi ki aia. Nei koa he Tohunga makutu a Whare, a tutu ana te awha, tuku tonu te ua, ano ka pukea nga kainga o tana iwi e te wai ka karanga atu tana iwi ki a Whare ka mea, “E Whare e, taraa te rangi kia mao ai.” Ka oho atu a Whare ki ta ratou aue ka mea “E kore a Whare e tara i te rangi, he ua haere [tuku] mai i roto i Kete-riki,” a raru ana tana iwi i te mate kai, i te mahi a te waipake, ka ea te mate o Whare i te ua o te rangi.

Ko Kete-riki, he maunga i te taha o te Aroha, i tua tata atu o te kainga i noho ai a Whare ma.
