Maui Tinihanga - Who is Maui?

Kia ora!

Most of us know who Maui is, most of us have also heard or read some of the korero surrounding Maui. Today I wanted to share a story taken from George Grey's collection, Ko Nga Mahinga A Nga Tupuna. You can read along here:

I try to say it when I can, so here it is again - George Grey went about collecting our korero, would make edits to fit a certain narrative, and often omit where and who he collected our korero from. Te Rangikāheke was Grey's main pou, with Te Rangikāheke writing over 800 pages.
