Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.

In a time of great storms, Tāwhirimātea, Atua of winds and weather, saw the little tītī (muttonbirds) struggling against fierce gales that had scattered their flock. Though known for his ferocity, Tāwhirimātea felt aroha for the vulnerable birds. He calmed the winds and guided the tītī to shelter, teaching the Atua of the forest, Tāne, how to protect them with his trees. The birds thrived, and in gratitude, they became a source of sustenance and companionship for the people.
Moral: True power lies in compassion, and by caring for others, we create harmony in our world.

The Churning of the Great Moana
Long ago, before the time of man, the Atua (gods) of the Māori world found themselves in disarray. The balance of life had been disturbed, and the Atua of light and prosperity, Tamanuiterā, found his power waning. The Atua of darkness, Whiro, had grown stronger,… View moreThe Churning of the Great Moana
Long ago, before the time of man, the Atua (gods) of the Māori world found themselves in disarray. The balance of life had been disturbed, and the Atua of light and prosperity, Tamanuiterā, found his power waning. The Atua of darkness, Whiro, had grown stronger, spreading unrest and despair across the land and seas. The only way to restore balance was to retrieve the sacred **Te Waiora** (the Waters of Life) hidden deep within the Great Moana (Ocean). These sacred waters could heal and bring harmony back to the world.
However, retrieving Te Waiora was no small task. It required the combined efforts of all Atua, including Whiro, who was reluctant to help. Seeing no other way, Tāne, the Atua of forests and light, proposed that they set aside their differences and work together to churn the Great Moana to bring Te Waiora to the surface.
---
Preparing the Churning
The Whakapapa of Unity:
Tāne approached all the Atua, emphasizing the importance of kotahitanga (unity) for the survival of the world. Despite their grievances, the Atua, including Tangaroa (Atua of the sea), agreed. Even Whiro, though suspicious, joined the effort.
2. The Great Tools:
Tāne uprooted the mighty **Kauri** tree to serve as the churning rod, its towering trunk reaching the heavens.
Tangaroa offered his greatest guardian, **Te Wheke-a-Muturangi** (the giant octopus), to act as the rope, its mighty tentacles binding the Kauri firmly.
3. The Moana Awakens:
The Atua stood on opposite sides of the Great Moana. Tāne and his allies held one side of Te Wheke, while Whiro and his followers grasped the other. Together, they began to churn the waters, their chants resonating with the rhythm of the waves.
---
The Churning and Challenges
Emerging Taonga:
As the Atua churned, treasures began to emerge. First came Pounamu (greenstone), a symbol of strength and endurance. Next appeared the Tāonga o te Tangata (gifts of the people): kai (food), tools, and other treasures that would one day sustain humanity.
2. The Poison of Conflict:
From the depths, a great cloud of Kapua Pōuri (dark mist) arose, spreading despair and anger among the Atua. Whiro, tempted by his darker nature, sought to abandon the task and take the treasures for himself. Seeing this, Tāwhirimātea (Atua of winds and storms) unleashed a fierce gale, dispersing the mist and reminding Whiro of their shared purpose.
3. The Sacred Te Waiora:
Finally, after much effort, Te Waiora emerged, shimmering with light. Its presence calmed the seas, and the Atua felt a sense of unity and peace.
---
Restoring Balance
Whiro, moved by the power of Te Waiora, chose to honor the pact. Though his nature was still tied to darkness, he agreed to use his strength to maintain balance rather than disrupt it. The Atua collectively shared the Te Waiora, ensuring that its power would nurture both land and sea for future generations.
---
Moral of the Story
This story teaches the importance of kotahitanga (unity) and aroha (compassion). Even when individuals or groups are divided, working together for a shared purpose can overcome any obstacle. It reminds us that true strength lies in cooperation and that every being, even those seen as adversaries, has a role to play in maintaining balance and harmony in the world.
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
