Kaputuhi Pa is the cultural center for Ngati Kaputuhi, a hapu of Ngati Maniapoto.  Kaputuhi, the ancestor, traces her line of descent from Kurawari, a daughter of Raukawa.  Her husband, Taitengahue, descends from the celebrated Maniapoto.  They had three children, Maniauruahu, Parekura and Tarawehi.
