Quick Facts Te Ure o Uenukukōpako, Rohe (region) ...

Chief Uenukukōpako was a great-great-great-great grandson of Tamatekapua, captain of the Arawa canoe.[2] His kurī dog was killed by Mataaho and Kawaarero, which was part of a long war in the Rotorua district.[3] Uenukukōpako and his relative Rangiteaorere did eventually win the war and secured the settlement of the region for their descendants. Today Uenukukōpako's descendants (Te Ure o Uenukukōpako / Ngāti Whakaue) populate Mokoia Island and the north-west side of Lake Rotorua.[2]

Te Arawa FM is the radio station of Te Arawa iwi. It was established in the early 1980s and became a charitable entity in November 1990.[4] It is available on 89.0 FM in Rotorua.[5]
