Maniapoto’s cave

Kia tae ki tōna kaumātuatanga, i te noho a Maniapoto ki tētahi ana i Waitomo. He tuna mōkai tā te koroua nei i te kōawa i raro iho i tōna ana. I te mea nā te koroua te tuna nei kīhai i patua. Ko te kupu ōhākī a te koroua rā ki tōna iwi, ‘Kia mau ki tēnā, ki te kawau mārō’. Ka noho te kōrero nei hei pepeha mō te iwi.
