Activtiy ONE: The First Settlers
Māui is a demi god from Māori myths and legends. Here are some interesting facts that I have found out about him.
1. Māui was the youngest of his brothers and was getting into trouble alot.
2. You will not find Hawaiki on a map, but it is believed Māori came from an island or group of islands in Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean.
3. There are distinct similarities between the Māori language and culture and others of Polynesia including the Cook Islands, Hawaii, and Tahiti.
I watched the movie Moana where Māui was the demi god who helped Moana save her land. He was very arrogant and stubborn. He has magic powers and could turn into different animals (shape-shifter).
Here is my picture of Māui's life and Journery.
