    Te Hāpuku, sometimes called Te Ika-nui-o-te-moana, was born in the late eighteenth century. He was a leader of Ngāti Te Whatuiāpiti. Kinship links within Ngāti Kahungunu, Rangitāne, Ngāti Ira and other major tribal groups in Hawke's Bay made him influential throughout the region." (Te Ara, Encyclopedia of New Zealand"
