KO TURONGO RAUA KO MAHINARANGI Ka raru ano a Turongo i tona tuakana i a Whatihua mo te wahine o Aotea mo Ruaputahanga, a ka pa mai te hinapouri ki a ia. Te kawenga a te hinapouri ka turakina e Turongo te whare i ata hanga ra e ia a ko nga pou whakairo ka totoia ki te moana. He hanga aroha a Turongo ki te haere wairangi noa i te akau, a he mea ano ka rongona tona reo e waiata ana ano he whakapu i te taha o te haruru o te tai. Ka noho tona iwi ka mamae o ratou ngakau ki te whakarongo ki te waiata a Turongo. Ka akona atu e ratou nga kupu o taua waiata me kore noa e marie tona pouri ki te rongo mai ki a ratou e waiata ana. Ina te waiata tangi a Turongo, ko te waiata Nama 197 kei te wahanga II o Nga Moteatea: Hei kona ra, e whare kikino, Tu mai ai, Hei whakaahua ma te tangata I te hikitanga o te poupou, Ka hopa i tehi tara, Ka hira kei runga. No namata mai ano i ako mai I te waihanga, ko Ruatahuna, Ko ta rekoreko, rere mai te pua Ko te ua-awha, Ko Moana-nui, ko Moana-tea, Ko Manini-kura, ko Manini-aro, Tenei ka tu kei te takutai, Ko te koha a Turongo. Opane koanga au, Ko te wahine nana i hari mai Te toki pounamu, on the coast from Kawhia northwards were to be for Whatihua, and the territory on the eastern and inland side of the Pirongia and Hauturu ranges, with the northern boundary on the Puniu River, were to be for Turongo. Then, before bidding his son farewell, Tawhao also spoke to Whatihua. Before Turongo left on his journey his father earnestly enjoined on him that whatever might befall he was to return and claim his inheritance. Turongo expressed his gratitude to his father, and promised that after his travels he would return. AN INDUSTRIOUS FOOD-GATHERER After a long and uneventful journey Turongo eventually arrived at Raukawa (the district around the present site of the Te Aute Maori Boys' College, in Hawke's Bay), and there he called at the village of Kahotea. Kahotea was the home of Mahinarangi, where she lived with her mother and her father, Te Angiangi (also called Te Angi-o-tu) and Tuaka. Turongo found Tuaka, the father of Mahinarangi, busily engaged with his people in the building of a large tribal house. Some members of the tribe were away in the forest ranges snaring birds, whilst others were on the coast, collecting seafoods for the house-builders. Turongo's knowledge of the art of the fowler was unsurpassed, and this knowledge, together with his skill as a house-builder, soon established a reputation for him among the Ngati-Kahungunu tribes of Heretaunga. He was particularly adept in the splitting of timber, and could do twice as much of this work as any other man. Before
