I te taenga a Kāpene Kuki ki Uawa ka hoe atu ngā Māori i runga i tō rātou waka, ka uia mai e Kāpene Kuki te ingoa o te whenua me te tuhi mai anō tōna ringa ki uta, ka mahara ngā Māori e ui ana ki te ingoa o te hau, ka kī atu he tāraki (TP 1/1911:4). / When Captain Cook arrived at Tolaga Bay Māori paddled out on their canoe and when Captain Cook asked the name of the land at the same time pointing to shore, the Māori thought he was asking the name of the wind and said it was 'tāraki'.
