The hapū were descended from Te Whatuiāpiti, who was a great-grandson of Taewhā, himself a son of Rākei-hikuroa, the grandson of Kahungunu, and his second wife. Ngāi Whatuiāpiti had a fierce rivalry with Ngāi Te Upokoiri, which was descended from Taraia, a son of Rākei-hikuroa and his first wife.[2]
