text:
Īhenga was an early Māori explorer and rangatira of Te Arawa. After burying his father at Moehau, he travelled to Maketu to be purified by his uncle Kahumatamomoe, whose daughter he married. He explored the North Island and named many places, including Lakes Rotoiti and Rotorua. He tricked the existing residents out of their land and settled at Ngonogtaha. Later, he and Kahumamatamomoe travelled to Kaipara together. He might have lived in the early fifteenth century.
