Ko Mauao te Maunga: Legend of Mauao

Author(s): Debbie McCauley

Pūrākau: Māori Myths & Legends | 2019 NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults

The history of Mauao, along with the legend, is one of heartbreak and struggle, but also one of endurance, strength and unity. Mauao stands guard at the entrance to Te Awanui, the Tauranga Harbour. At over two million years old, he is a tipuna and sacred taonga, manifesting both the past and the present, as well as giving us hope for the future.
