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. Ancient History of the Maori , Volume IV, by John White, p. 50

Consequently, upon his release, peace (mōwairokirokitanga) returned to Hauraki. Te Korimako, Volume 0, No. 12, pp.1,2 Draft Translation One of the chiefs of Ngāti Hako, Epiha, who was imprisoned for shooting a surveyor, has been released from prison on the 14th of February 1883. On this very evening, he was returned to his people in Hauraki. It was right and proper that Epiha was released. It is not known publicly that Epiha was punished for something that had been the custom of his people. However, peace has returned to Hauraki, to the waters of Hako and Marutūahu. We sing, 'Love is not overcome, it endures within. Only the most ...
