Maui and the giant fish.
- Maui had weaved a fishing line out of flax and did an old karakia to give his line strength.
- Maui’s ancestor Murirangawhenua had given him a jawbone to use as a hook.
Maui had punched himself hard on the nose to make it bleed using his blood for bait to catch a fish.
- Murirangawhenua had gifted his people a giant fish to live on.
- Maui’s giant fish was known as the north island of aotearoa and Maui’s waka is known as the south island.
Hey Te Kawana.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read your first blog post! I love how you went the extra mile and wrote five facts instead of just three. It shows that you really read and understood the myth. Have you read any other myths and legends from New Zealand? There are quite a few especially ones with Maui in them!
I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog posts soon!

ReplyDeleteMaui is an important tipuna to Māori whānau and lessons from these stories are still relevant to our lives today.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts Te Kawana.
