class=\"has-kb-palette-6-color has-text-color\">Long ago, there was a village called Kahakaharoa in the Taumata district. The village was perched on the cliff tops at the edge of a gorge with a river flowing far below. Taurikura was a puhi, a chief\u2019s daughter and woman of high rank who lived in Kahakaharoa. Being the daughter of a chief, she had always been given everything she wanted; some even said she was a spoiled brat. When she grew up, she expected everything to be done for her.<br>One day, Taurikura\u2019s koroua, Tahupokai, who was a very old man, asked Taurikura to get him some water from the river. The old man\u2019s legs were weak, and it was difficult for him to make the trip down the steep track to the river in the gorge below. Taurikura told the old man she was too tired; she did not want to go and get the water.<br>The old man was very thirsty and there was one else around. His moko refused to go. There was nothing else for it; he decided he would have to go himself. He picked up an empty gourd or tahaawai which was used to carry water and slowly and carefully he made his way down the steep track to the river. When he reached the awa, he drank some water and filled the gourd to take back to the p\u0101. Slowly and carefully he climbed back up the steep track cut into the cliff face. When the old man got back to the p\u0101 with his gourd full of water, Taurikura demanded some for herself. She was thirsty too so she drank from the tahaawai.<br>This was too much for the old man. It had been very painful for his stiff old bones to climb the long and steep track, while his granddaughter was young and healthy and had refused his request. Tahupokai began to scold Taurikura. He told her she was lazy, and asked her who she thought she was to expect everyone to run around after her. He went on and on and made a great speech, fuelled up by his anger and impatience at the cheeky young woman.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_b487be-41 >

Finally, his anger subsided, and he retreated into his whare.<br\/>Taurikura felt whakam\u0101 – very embarrassed and ashamed. She knew she had behaved badly and she did not know how she could face the old man again. She did not know how she could face all her other relatives in Kahakaharoa either, because very soon everyone would know how badly she had behaved. She felt so embarrassed, that she decided the only thing she could do was leave the village.<br\/>That night, Taurikura crept out of her whare. Carefully, she tip-toed down the steep track to the river. Here, she entered a cave where the sacred taonga of her Koroua were housed. Taurikura placed her hands upon these sacred taonga and began to transform into a tuatara – a type of lizard.<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal > .kt-inside-inner-col > #kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{max-width:unset;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-color:var(--global-palette7, #EDF2F7);border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;background:rgba(252, 252, 252, 0);padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom:20px;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap:hover{border-color:var(--global-palette7, #EDF2F7);background:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kadence-info-box-icon-container .kt-info-svg-icon, #kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-info-svg-icon-flip, #kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-number{font-size:50px;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-media{color:#444444;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:10px;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-media-container{margin-top:0px;margin-right:15px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:15px;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap:hover .kt-blocks-info-box-media{color:#444444;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-infobox-textcontent h3.kt-blocks-info-box-title{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-infobox-textcontent .kt-blocks-info-box-text{color:#222d2d;}#kt-info-box_4b3bba-61 .kt-blocks-info-box-learnmore{background:transparent;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding-top:4px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:4px;padding-left:8px;margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<div id=\"kt-info-box_4b3bba-61\" class=\"wp-block-kadence-infobox\"><a class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap info-box-link kt-blocks-info-box-media-align-top kt-info-halign-left\"><div class=\"kt-infobox-textcontent\"><p class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-text\">Her koro found her and told her it was due to her disobedience that this had happened. Taurikura then completed her transformation into a ngarara, and plunged into the water. She swam downstream toward Tauranga Moana. As she swam, the river carved out a new course for itself, along the route now known as Kopurereroa. She swam with this stream out into the estuary of Waikareao, past Matarawa (the old name for Judea Pa), past Motuopae, forming Tataramoa in her wake, past Te Matau and out into the wider Tauranga Moana. She continued to swim past Mauao through the harbour mouth. Finally, exhausted, she landed on the rocky island of Karewa, out in the sea beyond Matakana; here, Taurikura stayed and remained in lizard form so that no one would recognise her.<br\/>Thus, Taurikura is the ancestor of tuatara: the special kind of lizard that is found on Karewa now, where they share the nests of the mutton birds.<br\/>(He k\u014drero i rapua e Evelyn Stokes n\u014d ng\u0101 kaumatua o Ng\u0101ti Ranginui)<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H\u016aRIA MARAE TAURIKURA H\u016aRIA MARAE Long ago, there was a village called Kahakaharoa in the Taumata district.
