Part two of the trilogy is Whakatau-pōtiki - Te Haerenga, the story of how Whakatau-pōtiki left Hawaiki with his eldest son Rongomai to seek out a land of plenty, how they endured storms and hardships as they journeyed over the Pacific Ocean, and what lay in wait for them as he and his son established themselves in their destination of Nuku-Roa...
