Faaina ruled in Aonuu, and after him Anu-o-Aatuna. Afterwards the chief Atea killed Umai and civil wars drove him and many other Take to seek new homes in other lands.
Papanui is called a high table land, near the sea, vipua me te tai. Among the fugitives from Aonuu was a chief Tiki-Matohe and his wife Hina. They left with their followers and outfit of pigs, fowl and fruits in a double canoe, vaka hupu, and discovered the land of Papanui. The mele of Tani’s landing on Papanui states that the host Atea would, in honor of Tani, bring pigs from Ao-tumi, turtle from Ono-tapu and fowls from below Ii hawa and Nuu-teea.
Take-hee is called: “Tu hivaoa eeke i te hee.”
Anitai or Anitake. Of this it is said: “A kau papaua ia tai naenae.”
Hawaii is called: “Tai mamao uta oa tu te Ii.” In Hawaii the hupe, kohanui, mio and temanu trees were growing. Hawaii appears to have been subject to tremendous hurricanes, followed by famines. The following headlands or capes are mentioned in Hawaii: Fiti-tona-tapu, Pua, Ao, Ao-ena and Ao-oma. The mio tree was said to make good paddles. Two mountains are mentioned in Hawaii; one in the mele of Matahou of Hawaii, called Mouna-Tika-oe; the other in the mele of Tupaa, called Mauna-oa. The latter is said to have been raging (ii) on top and served as a landmark for Tupaa when he left Hawaii with his family and followers.
Tuuma is said to have been near to Hawaii: “Te Tuuma i Hawaii tata ae.”
Meaai: All that is said of this island is: “Mou ae te tupa tata eke na te tai.”
Matahou is the last land mentioned in this mele, and no other description given of it, than that it stood in the sea, “tu i te tai.”
Throughout these migrations the Take are represented as having come from below (mai iao), when coming from Aheetake, and going up (uka) to Matahou.
Throughout the Polynesian groups, within the tropics, when a land is spoken of as iao ilalo, iraro of the speaker’s place, it invariably means to the leeward, before the prevailing trade wind. This wind being from northeast or southeast, these migrations pursued a course from west to east, which suggests a descent from Asia or the Asiatic Archipelago.
