Kā tapuwae o Māui
He kōrero mō ngā takahanga waewae a Māui ki te tūhura haere i Te Waipounamu, ā, me te hīnga ake o Te Ika a Māui.
Ka mea ā, ka tae a Māui ki Kā Umu o Hapopo.
He kekeno e pāinaina ana i kā toka pounamu rahi. Ka piki a Māui ki ruka ake o te whaka, ka tokia atu te whenua ki tana toki, a Tiheimauriora.
Ka rere tonu a Māui, me tana whakamīharo ki kā mauka e matika mai ana i te moana.
Ka whakaaro tana manu mōkai, a Piopio, kia mau tonu ia ki tēnei wāhi. Nō reira ka whakamanu a Māui i a ia, kia kotahi atu anō ai tā rāua rereka tahi ko tana hoa. Tapaina ana te wāhi nei e Māui ko Piopiota
Ka rere anō a Māui. Ka tae ki tētahi wāhi, ka tukuna te puka o Mahunui, ka mōhiotia tēnei wāhi i muri ko Te Puka o te Waka o Māui. Ka tae rātou ki kā oneroa, ka whakatā, ka kohi kai mō te rereka kai mua tonu i te aroaro. Ko te ikoa o tēnei wāhi, ko Ōmāui.
Ka tere anō a Mahunui. Heoi anō, ka karawhiu te āwhā, hūkerikeri ana te hau, hūkerikeri ana te wai, ka tīhaea i konā te rā o tō rātou waka. Nō reira, ka kimi wāhi haumaru rātou e ū ai rātou ki uta.
Ka kitea he whaka whakaruru, ka noho ki reira mō tētahi wā ki te raupine i tō rātou waka.
Ka rewa anō a Mahunui. Nāwai ā, ka tae ki Te Tai o Marokura. I reira ka pania e Māui tana matau hī ika ki kā toto o tōhona ihu, ka makaia ki te wai.
Ka roa a Māui, e kukume ana, e huhuti ana, e hī ana. Nāwai ā, ka hīia ake tētahi ika nui whakaharahara. Ko ia tēnā, ko Te Ika a Māui e mōhio nei tātou i ēnei rā.

I pūtakea mai te iwi Māori me te Māoritanga i Te Moananui a Kiwa, engari kua tupu haere ā tātou ake tikanga me tō tātou ake ahurea i te noho roa ki Aotearoa, nā runga anō i ngā tāraitanga mai o te whenua i a tātou.
