Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kaingamaturi Pou, a sculpture and pouwhenua at the entrance to the Kakamatua Track, Huia, Waitakere Ranges, Auckland, New Zealand. Carved by Sunnah Thompson, unveiled in December 2006.
The pou tells the story of how the area received its traditional Te Kawerau a Maki name, Kaingamaturi. A young Waiohua chief Rangimaunu was fishing near Huia, and fell in love with the daughter of Te Hawiti II, Meke. He asked to stay at Huia, but Meke was engaged to another person. Despite this, their passions increased and they eloped; hiding behind a waterfall. When found by Te Hawiti II, the couple had become temporarily deaf due to the loud noise of the water. The elders of both Waiohua and Te Kawerau a Maki acknowledged how deep their love bonds were, and agreed to the union, creating stronger tied between Te Kawerau and Waiohua. |
