Te Rauparaha's Ngati Toa lived at kawhia (on the west coast of the North Island between Raglan and Taranaki) until the Battle of Kawhia which took place around the turn of the 19th century when Te Rauparaha's belligerent and murderous behaviour finally united the other Iwi's of Tainui against him. A three-pronged land and sea attack on his Kawhia strongholds forced Te Raupraha and his Ngati Toa into giving up their lands and fleeing southwards.

Once when pursued by his enemies, Te Rauparaha came to Te Wharerangi and asked for his protection. The latter hid him in a kumara pit with his wife sitting over the entrance. According to custom, this was considered strange. Firstly, no male would ever place himself in a position beneath the genitals of a woman. Secondly, the female organs were believed to have a shielding effect. Of course, in times of danger Te Rauparaha was willing to forego custom in order to survive.
