This hakatauki depicts the sacred house of Ngāpuhi. Papatuānuku is the foundation, Ranginui (sky father) is the over arching tuanui (roof) with the sacred mountains being the poupou (pillars). The boundaries are within the area covered by these sacred maunga (mountains) of Ngāpuhi. This must not be confused with the boundary of Ngāpuhi-Nui-Tonu which is contained in the hakatauki - te whare o Ngāpuhi, Tāmaki Makaurau ki te Rerenga Wairua.
