Te Waka a Māui
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Te Waka a Māui (the canoe of Māui) is the Māori name for the South Island, New Zealand. Māori folklore says that it was the canoe which Māui stood on as he hauled up Te Ika-a-Māui (the fish of Māui - North Island).
Alternatively, another name for the South Island is Te Wai Pounamu.
