One day, there was a funeral for a great warrior named Tumupākihi. He was from Ngāti Whātua and had helped his people become more powerful by pushing Waiohua people further south. After the funeral, there was a big feast to remember Tumupākihi. But during the feast
I will live here and you guys live on the other side.
This is my land not yours.
No! It's not your land, it's mine.
There were three groups of people who lived near a river called Kaipara River: Waiohua (from Auckland), Ngāti Whātua (from Kaipara), and Te Kawerau ā Maki (from near Titirangi). They lived near each other and sometimes there were arguments about who should live where.
No Tumupākihi!
Oh no! What has happened to him?
It's okay.
Oh,Tumupākihidon't go.
