Kahe Te Rau-o-te-rangi
- ... that Kahe Te Rau-o-te-rangi swam seven miles with her child strapped to her back, from Kapiti Island to the mainland of New Zealand, to raise the alarm about an impending invasion? Sources: "Kahe became renowned for her seven mile swim from Kāpiti to Te Uruhi on the mainland, with a child, Mākere, strapped to her back, to raise the alarm when Ngāti Toa were attacked by a war party from the south." [1]. "She is famous for her epic 1824 swim from Kāpiti Island to the mainland, with her daughter, Rīpeka, strapped on her back, to warn Ngāti Toa of an impending invasion." [2]

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:02, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: Thanks very much! Thanks also for catching that grammatical error on my part (face palm!). Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 20:57, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
