Kōrero: Whenua – how the land was shaped

E ai ki ētahi kōrero, ko Kaikōura te tūranga o Māui i te wā ka hīia ake e ia i tana ika. Arā anō te kōrero e kī ana, ko te whenua tuatahi i puea i te moana, ko Hikurangi, te maunga tapu o Ngāti Porou. Kei te whakapono te iwi i pae te waka o Māui, a Nukutaimemeha ki te tihi o tō rātou maunga, e pae tonu nei i tēnei rā.
