This story from te ao Māori comes from the Te Arawa confederation of Māori iwi and hapu (tribes and sub-tribes) of New Zealand who trace their ancestry to the Arawa migration canoe ( waka ). Hatupatu later became a Te Arawa chief but this story is an abridged account of his earlier exploits as a tama/young boy.
