The reason why Kauhoe went to Ngati Koata to ask for land at Whakapuaka was owing to her not having any land elsewhere. It was under this right that Wi Katene occupied at Whakapuaka. Kauhoe was also the mother of Paremata. Kauhoe asked for the land at Whakapuaka for Wi Katene. Paremata was in slavery at the time.
