new zealand history

According to maori history, maui a powerful demigod was set to sea with a strong hook made by his grandmothers jaw bone. while fishing with the hook he caught an incredibly large fish, that fish was New Zealand. in honor of this legend the northside of new zealand is sometimes called Maui's fish, in maori its called te ika a maui. And on the opposite side of our land, the north, sometimes people call that area Te waka a maui, translated it into english, the name is maui's canoe.
