A proverb related to the Arawa’s arrival is: ‘Kei Motiti koe e noho ana’ (I suppose you are at Motiti as you can find no firewood). The island was often called Motiti-wahie-kore, because of the bareness of the land and lack of timber.' Source: Reed, A.W. & Peter Dowling, Place Names of New Zealand, 2010.
