In the 2006 Census, 12,072 people claimed an affiliation with WhakatÅhea. History Pre-European history One of WhakatÅhea's earliest ancestors was Chief Tarawa and his brother Tuwharanui had been left behind when the ''Te TohorÄ'' waka left Hawaiki, and so built '' Te Arautauta'' waka to join the rest of their people in New Zealand.
