Piopio and Te Kairākau pou

Two markers in the Waikanae landscape
The Te Ātiawa ki Kāpiti iwi-history account identifies Piopio and Te Kairākau as pou associated with the Waikanae River landscape. The descriptions locate Piopio near present-day Piopio Place and Te Kairākau in the vicinity of present-day Camelot subdivision at Ōtaihanga. Modern street and subdivision references are orientation aids, not proof of the precise historical footprint.
