Pupuke Moana - There are a few different stories that have been passed down and associated with the origins and naming of Rangitoto (Te Rangitoto o Tamatekapua – tapu by Tainui and Te Arawa), one story on its origins in particular, physically links it to the land area of Pupuke: It is said that Rona, a lay of the district, was intent on some weaving. The light of the day went as the sun went down, leaving Rona unable to finish her work. She was annoyed by the curse of Mahuika, goddess of fire, for not giving her light to finish. Mahuika had not even been asked, so was very annoyed at being cursed by this impudent lady. She reached down and grabbed the hill Rona was sitting on from below, drew it down then thrust it up again as the hill we now know as Rangitoto. Rona herself threw into the sky, weaving and all. She is still there as the lady in the moon grasping her bundle of weaving…Lake Pupuke which fills the hole left by Rangitoto…is named Pupuke Moana because it breathes, or rather overflows .
