NOTES. Lines 4, 5, 6: Maungaroa, Atauira, Taumauriorongo are ancestors. This portion of haka is a description of the genealogy of the local people who probably did the haka explaining their tribal ancestry. Line 14: This line does not have a literal meaning. Any marae in Taranaki is called idiomatically ‘te maunga Taranaki’ (Mount Egmont). Line 21: The pole on a canoe is used to assist paddles over rapids. It is used in the same way as a pole on a punt.
