Hone Mihaka is reciting the mountains 'nga Pou ote whare tapu o Ngapuhi'

the posts of the sacred/restricted house of the Ngapuhi tribe.

Ranginui (skyfather) is the roof Papatuanuku (Earthmother) is the floor.

If you join the dots between the Maunga (mountians) it gives u a boundary the traditional area under the Mana (power/influence) of Ngapuhi-nui-tonu.
