Ōwhakatoro

Te pā o Ōhae

He kāinga a Ōhae nā te matua o Pūkenga, a Tānemoeahi, kei te whārua o Rūātoki. E pātata ana a Ōhae ki Whaitiripapā me Putiki kei te taha tokerau o te awa o Ōhinemataroa.

I takea mai te ingoa o Ngāti Pūkenga i a Pūkenga, nāna i whānau mai i Rūātoki, kei te rāwhiti o Bay of Plenty. I noho a Pūkenga i Ōhae, te pā o tōna matua a Tānemoeahi e tata ana ki Whaitiripapā me Pūtiki kei te taha tūāraki o te awa o Ōhinemataroa, te wāhi e rere ana te awa o Ōwhakatoro ki te whārua o Rūātoki.1I tōna tikanga kua heke a Pūkenga me tōna iwi ki te moana o Tauranga noho ai. Heoi, i mate kē ia i ngā pakanga i Ōwhakatoro.
