Te Hītori o Te Ara
He whakataunga tikanga a-māngai te noho a te Māori ki kōnei ki Te Kūrae o Makorori. E rua ngā wāhanga o te pari kei te horo ka kitea ngā ruapara i te matarae. I tua atu i ngā ruapara, kāre i kitea e ngā tāngata rangahau mea onamata he whakaaturanga i nōhia e te Māori. Ahakoa hoki i nōhia e Ngāti Rakai me Ngāti Konohi. I whakatūngia e Rakaiatane te Pā, Panehu, he tirohanga whiwhi wai ana. Whai take ana te pā hei whakapūmau i te haumaru o ngā waka whakatere mai i te akau o Makorori te ara poto ki Te Toka Āhuru, te taunga hii ika. Ka tahuna ngā ahi ki te pae maungahei ārahi i ngā waka ki te akau. Tēra pea he pā anō i tua atu i te matarae.

Paku Āwhina me ngā Āhuatanga
Ka hono atu te ara o Te Kūrae o Makorori ki te akau o Wainui, te akau o Okitu ki te akau o Makorori. Ka taea atu mai i te raki, i te tonga rānei, ahakoa rā, kei te aukati ngā arapiki mai i te raki. I pakaru i te karawhiu a te marangai. He tūnga waka kei Okitū, te taha o Te Kūrae o Makorori, i te Tirohanga Rāhui o Okitu, a, kei te pito o te raki kei te taha katoa i te Ara Matua 35 te Rori o Rāhui o te Ngahere o Okitū.
Kia tūpato ka whakawhiti ana i Te Rori Matua 35 mai i Te Tirohanga Rāhui o te Ngahere o Okitū.
