Middle Eastern migration to New Zealand began in significant numbers in the late 19th century, primarily with Lebanese and Syrian immigrants. The migration trend continued, with notable increases after World War II and during the 1970s, particularly due to geopolitical issues in the region.

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives… you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours… You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

I have very little information on the children of Tamati Waka Nene. The reason for this may be that when and where he was born, families did not keep written records of their activities. His official biography on the official Dictionary of New Zealand says that he outlived his children, but doesn't say who they were. Link to that site below.

Ran into the following on one of the New Zealand sites for the Cook Family: Kia ora whanau your comment about Kareana who was Hohaias daughter is correct. Waaka Nene could not have children so Patuone gave him one of his mokopuna. I myself am a 5th generation from Patuone. My line is direct as it is my fathers whakapapa. His great grandfather was Raunatiri who was the second youngest mokopuna of Patuones and the second youngest child of Hohaia. Kareana was a daughter she came after Ani Karo.
