The accord was short lived with the death of Te Wanikau's brother-in-law (Chief of Ngai Te Upokoiri) prompting further conflict over the erection of [[Rāhui|rahui]] poles on [[Lake Poukawa]], Ngati Rangikoianake's eel fishing area. The conflict, starting around 1819 and lasting till 1824 ended with the Ngati Rangikoianake and other local tribes evacuating the area and settling at [[Mahia]]. In the latter part of the 1820s Pareihe attacked the Ngai Te Upokoiri and regained the lands they had lost, with the Ngai Te Upokoiri taking refuge in the [[Manawatū-Whanganui|Manawatū]]. A peace accord was made between Pareihe and the [[Ngāti Tūwharetoa]] in the late 1830s. The Ngati Tuwharetoa had been allied with the Ngai Te Upokoiri.<ref name="Aramoana2"/>
