i te tau i a Ataranga.he tuku te
tangata i te vaka |
During the time of Ataranga, the people
built boats, put them into the water, went on board, and
sailed off (across the sea) to find a land where people
could (safely) live.
During the time of Taana, Taana spoke
to his three sons: 'Untie your boat, fellows! Sail away
and look for the land where the great king can live
(safely in the future)!'The boat anchored in front of
the three (islets) Motu Nui, Moto Iti, and Motu Kaokao.
They had sailed away and had looked for the (new) land,
but the boat did not return to its homeland, Maori.
Many people perished during the time
of Taana. Taana spoke to his assistants (titiro): 'Pick
up the keel and lay it down (at the building site) and
construct a boat (miro), young men! The boat shall be
for the people (mahingo) and also for the king, so that
we can all set out and look around to see whether there
isn't (somewhere) (the possibility of) escape for the
people''
They built the boat during the time of
Taana. Thus, everything remained (in its place) until
Taana died.
Taana passed on his royal power to
Matua. Matua established himself (as ruler). They built
boats during the time of Hotu.
Hau Maka had a dream.
The dream soul of Hau Maka moved in the direction of the
sun (i.e., toward the East. When, through the power of
her mana, the dream soul had reached

seven lands, she rested there and looked
around carefully. The dream soul of Hau Maka said the
following:
'As yet, the land that stays in the
dim twilight during the fast journey has not been
reached.'
The dream soul of Hau Maka continued
her journey and, thanks to her mana, reached
another land.
She descended on one of the small
islets (off the coast). The dream soul of Hau Maka
looked around and said: 'These are his three young men.'
She named the three islets
'the handsome youths of
Te Taanga, who are standing in the water.'
The dream soul of Hau Maka continued
her journey and went ashore on the (actual Easter)
island.
The dream soul saw the fish Mahore,
who was in a (water) hole to spawn (?), and she named
the place 'Pu Mahore A Hau Maka O
Hiva.'
The dream soul climbed up |

and reached the rim of the crater. As
soon as the dream soul looked into the crater, she felt
a gentle breeze coming toward her. She named the place
'Poko Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul continued her search for a
residence for King Matua.
[Rather: for
the King and for the Gods, Atua. The residence
was for Hotu and not for his father Matua
who was remaining in Hiva.]
The dream soul of Hau Maka reached
(the smaller crater) Manavai and named the place
'Te Manavai A Hau Maka O Hiva'.
The dream soul went on and reached Te
Kioe Uri. She named the place 'Te
Kioe Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva'.

'Te Pei A Hau Maka O Hiva.

Pou. She named the place 'Te Pou A
Hau Maka O Hiva'.
The dream soul went on and came to Hua
Reva. She named the place 'Hua |

The dream soul went on and came to
Akahanga. She named the place
'Akahanga A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul went on. She was
careless (?) and broke the kohe plant with her
feet. She named the place 'Hatinga
Te Kohe A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul went on and came to
Roto Iri Are. She gave the name
'Roto Iri Are A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul went on and came to
Tama. She named the place 'Tama,
an evil fish (he ika kino) with a very long nose
(he ihu roroa).'
The dream soul went on and came to One
Tea. She named the place
'One Tea A Hau Maka O
Hiva.'
She went on and reached Hanga Takaure.
She named the place 'Hanga Takaure
A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul moved upward and came
to (the elevation of) Poike. She named the place
'Poike A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul continued to ascend and
came to the top of the mountain, to Pua Katiki. |
