MEANING OF TANGITERORIA
Tangi: to cry te: the roria: conch shell (sound of a trumpet)
Eel weirs (hinaki) woven from harakeke (flax) were constructed on the Upper Northern Wairoa River. As Maori paddled their waka up to them, the force of the water was so audible that it was likened to the sound of a conch shell being blown.
