Ngāti Tai

Ko  tētahi o ngā iwi o Hauraki. Ko ngā tūpuna o Ngāti Tai i tae mai ki a Hauraki i runga i a Tainui waka, i te whitinga mai o taua waka ki a Tāmaki-makau-rau me Tikapa Moana hoki; ko Ngāti Tai te tuatahi o ngā iwi o Tainui waka i noho ki Hauraki. Ko Te Keteanatāua tētahi o ngā rangatira o Tainui waka i terā wā, ā, ko Taihauā te tama a Te Keteanatāua. Nō Taihauā i puta mai te iwi nei, a Ngāti Tai. Ko Taikehu tētahi atu o ngā tūpuna. I muri ake, i heke mai he rōpu nui o Ngāi Tai ki Hauraki, i haere mai rātou nō Tōrere, ki a Tāmaki-makau-rau, tō rātou haere mai he whakawhanaungatanga ki a Ngāti Tai. 

I te wā a muri ake anō, ka tae mai a Pāoa, tupuna o Ngāti Paoa, ki a Hauraki. Nō reira, ka moea ngā uri o Pāoa ki ngā uri o Ngāti Tai, he nui rawa ngā herenga whakapapa i waenganui i ngā iwi e rua nei. Engari, he kōrero i tuku iho nā te Pākehā te whakaaro "ko Ngāti Tai he hapū o Ngāti Paoa", nā te mea, i te wā o te haerenga mai o ngā Pākehā ki Tāmaki, ko Ngāti Pāoa te iwi nui atu ki a Ngāti Tai o taua rohe. Hei tā Ngāti Tai, hei whanaunga kē rātou ki a rātou.
