Pourangahua

Pourangahua was a Māori rangatira (chieftain) of the Ngāti Kahungunu iwi and Ngāti Hingānga hapū, based at Papuni in the Ruakituri valley north of Hawke Bay of New Zealand. He probably lived in the mid-eighteenth century. In legend, he was involved in the creation of Lake Papuni. The area remains in the possession of his descendants today.
