Rahi ake i te waru rau ngā tāngata i tae ake ki te mātakitaki i ngā kura tuarua o te rohe o Te Moana ā Toi e whakataetae kapa haka ana. I eke panuku a Kura ki Uta nō Te Kāreti o Ōpōtiki, i tuarua Te Kura Tuarua o Whakatāne, ka mutu ko te Kura ā Rohe o Te Whānau ā Apanui i tuatoru. Ināianei, ka whakangungu ngā kapa nō Ōpōtiki me Whakatāne mō te whakataetae ā motu. I tū te whakataetae nei ki Whare Taiohi o Kuini Irihāpeti i Tauranga – i whakataetae ngā waka o Mataatua me Tākitimu ki Tauranga Moana. Nā Te Puni Kōkiri tēnei kaupapa i tautoko hei whakatairanga i te reo me ōna tikanga mō te tuakiritanga o ngā taiohi.
