The Patupaiarehe people lived around the lakes of Rotorua .They were smaller than the maori and had fair skin .They collected food from the lakes,and forest,and loved singing and dancing.
The Tipua were big ,mean and had bad tempers. They wanted all the land of the Patupaiarehe
for themselves. The Tipua giants wanted to attack the Patupaiarehe and take their land and lakes away. The Patupaiarehe people asked their leader for help.
Tongakohu lit a fire on top of Ngongotaha mountain and started chanting his spell. After some time, the Tipua giants began feeling tired and they could not move. Soon they turned into rocks. Finally Tongakohu was able to save his people. And that’s how they have ramained to this day.
