Whitireia – What’s in a name?
Whitireia is a name our people brought from Hawaiiki with them. They believe it came from ngā atua, from the gods. That name is very deep in the Māori world. There are two names in Māoridom that we say are from the gods, and Whitireia is one of them
– Ihakara Arthur, Ngāti Toa kaumātua
