Kahurangi Maori Legends And Myths

On Wednesday 1st of August a group of middle aged people performed in front of our school.

The group had two males and four females, firstly they started their performance by singing a Maori song with actions. A while later, they all introduced themselves one after the other. They first said "Kia ora!" as we responded back to them "Kia ora!" as loud as we can.

Once they finished introducing themselves, they carried on with their show. They told us all a myth about a beautiful creature and a hansom man that lived on land. they both were extremely in love with each other. The hansom man loved the sea creature so much he wanted to stay with her forever but she couldn't. The sea creature was able to walk on land but she a signal from the sea calling her to come back. They both saw each other one day and kept a promise for the sea creature to come back and sea the hansom man every afternoon.

He then finds out that if the sea creature eats cooked food it will stay on land forever, so he gets cooked food and try's to make the creature eat it while shes sleeping she then wakes up and notices the food then she feels betrayed.
