Ko Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu te Kuīni Māori mai i te 1966 tae noa ki te 2006. I whānau mai ai a Piki Mahuta i te 23 o ngā rā o Hōngongoi i te 1931; i mate i te 15 o ngā rā o Here-turi-kōkā, 2006. Ko Te Ata, arā 'Princess Piki' te tamāhine tuarua o Korokī, arā o Korokī Te Rata Mahuta Tāwhiao Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, te Kīngi Māori tuarima.

Nō te mea he uaua rawa te whānautanga, ka mea a Korokī kia noho a Te Ata anake hei tamariki mō tāna wahine, kei mate ia. Engari, he tamariki whāngai anō ō rāua, ko Tā Robert Mahuta tētahi. He tokotoko whakawhirinaki tonu ia ki a Te Ata i ngā tau o tana kuīnitanga. He pōhara rawa ngā āhuatanga o te ao o Te Ata, i a ia e tamariki ana; he papa oneone noa iho o tō rātou whare raupō. I kuraina a Te Ata ki te kura Māori o Rākaumanga me Diocesan School, arā te kura mihinare mō ngā kōtiro ki Kirikiriroa. He tino kaha ia ki te tākaro hoari, ki te kauhoe hoki.

I te tau 1965 ka hemo te whaea a Te Ata, ko Te Atairangikaahu tonu te ingoa. Nō muri mai, i te tau 1966, ka mate a Korokī, ā, ka tū ko Te Atairangikaahu hei whakakapi, ā, koia rā i tau ai ki a ia te korowai o ōna mātua, ā, ko tana koroneihana hei Arikinui. Ko ia te wahine tuatahi i noho ki te torōna o ōna tūpuna, o Te Wherowhero mā. Ko Whatumoana Paki te hoa rangatira o Te Atairangikaahu; i haere tahi rāua ki hea whenua, ki hea whenua, ki te mahi i ngā mahi a Te Kīngitanga.
