Kaikaitahuna ‘Hamurana Springs’ is a place of special significance since the time of Tawakeheimoa. It was a place of abundance, where the tūpuna lived, raised their whanau, worked, fought, died, and, in some cases were even buried there. This reserve was returned to the iwi in the 2014 Ngāti Rangiwewehi Treaty Settlement.
