Poutini is the name of the taniwha that took Waitaiki while she was taking a bath in the sea
and when the chief felt like something had happened to Waitaiki he went to check on her but
he had seen that she was gone so he got a ciano and his servant to find her. He had this magical
dart that would point the way to Waitaki so he throw the dark into the air and they
went the way it pointed they chased Poutini down the south but towards the end of the
chase Poutini was angry that he could not be with Waitaiki so he turned her into Green
stone also known as pounamu and when the chief found her he was hart broken.
And that is my Maori myth.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing such an amazing Maori Myth! I actually didn’t know this one! What a beautiful yet tragic story! My Name is Hasiba, I am from Summer Learning Journey team. We are very lucky to have such amazing mythology! My favourite stories are about Tāwhirimātea, he is the god of weather, including thunder and lightning, wind, clouds and storms. How awesome is that? Do you have any favourite Maori Gods?
Looking forward to your summer blogging
