Hatupatu me Kurangaituku

Hatupatu and Kurangaituku

I tōna taenga ki Aotearoa, ka noho a Hatupatu te toa o Te Arawa ki te moutere o Mokoia i Rotorua. Koia te pōtiki o tōna whānau, tokotoru ōna tuākana. Kāore rātou i tiaki i a ia. He nui te kōrero mōna me tana pakanga ki a Kurangaituku te tipua, me tana hūpeke i ngā waiariki. Ka ngana a Kurangaituku kia whai i a Hatupatu, heoi ka wera, ka mate ia ki ngā wai koropupū. Nā Hatupatu i whakaea te weranga o Te Arawa i tana patunga i a Raumati o Tauranga. Nā te tohunga nā Tēnā Waitere ēnei whakairo i auaha i te wā 1904–5.

The sliding panel of the door represents the figure of the witch Kura as having a more-or-less human body with a manaia head. Above her head is the bird Horireriri (said to be a grey warbler) which warned her that her home had been robbed and her pets slain. Her body is carved to represent feathers and her feet are adorned with claws. Below are her lizard pets. She faces towards the window where Hatupatu is portrayed.

what is the name of the bird that Hatupatu didn't kill in the story the one that warned kurangaituku that Hatupatu had escaped?
