Ko te '''Raukawa''' he rākau whakaruruhau o [[Aotearoa]].  He kakara ngā rau o tēnei rākau. Kua mata te Raukawa, kua nihoniho, kua tawheratoru ngā rau. Me he rākau pakari, he toitū he tawherarua kē ngā rau. I te wā i haere ai a [[Māhina-a-rangi]], wahine a [[Tūrongo]], ki [[Waikato]], ka tae mai ki kō tata mai o [[Tīrau]], ka whakamamae a Māhina-a-rangi. He puia i taua wāhi, ā, ka noho ia i reira whānau ai. Ka whānau tana tamaiti, he tāne, ka tapā e ia te ingoa ko [[Raukawa]], hei whakamaharatanga ki te hinu raukawa i whakawahia rā e ia ki a ia i a rāua ko Tūrongo e whakawhaiaipo ana. Ko te waiariki i kaukau ai ia I te wāhi i whānau ai ia ka tapā te ingoa ko Te Wai-takahanga-a-Māhina-a-rangi, ā, koirā anō te ingoa inaianei. Ko te ingoa pūtaiao he ''Raukaua edgerleyi''.
