Paikea was an Ariki, i.e. a priest-chief, in Hawaiki, and was invited by Ruatapu into the fatal canoe, in which one hundred and forty first-born chiefs of houses were also decoyed. After proceeding to midocean, they were all drowned by Ruatapu, except Paikea, who swam to New Zealand. The murder of the chiefs was called Te Puru-unuhia, because it was accomplished by Ruatapu pulling out the plug (puru) which was in the bottom of the canoe—A. H. M., iii. 40. This was just before the Deluge, known as Te-tai-a-Ruatapu. Paikea landed at Ahuahu, or Great Mercury Island—A. H. M., iii. 31. Paikea was carried to shore on the back of the great fish Ruamano—A. H. M., iii. 52. For Paikea's genealogy, with a very interesting and valuable version of the story, see Colenso, Trans., xiv. 32 and 20. Paikea's name in Hawaiki was Kahutiaterangi; he received his name of Paikea because he crossed on the paikea, or water-monster, or whale — G.-8, 28. The names of Paikea's wives were Ahurumowairaka, (or Ahu-moai-raka,) Te Manawatina, and Huturangi—G.-8, 28. For his many children by his different wives, see G.-8, 28, and A. H. M., iii. 32. He was buried at Whangara, in the cave known ever since as Te-ana-o-Paikea. Paikea was met in heaven by Tawhaki, and the wife of Paikea, named Hine-nui-o-te-kawa, fell in love with Tawhaki. Her husband permitting (or casting her off), she went to Tawhaki, and had a child by him. Paikea, Kewa, and Thupuku are names of whales, used mythologically to denote the beings by whom Hema was slain; they are generally called Ponaturi. [See Ponaturi]. Paikea was one of the sea-monsters, the children of Te Hapuku, slain by Tawhaki with hail brought from heaven.
