Tuwhakarara came and he tied up the two taniwha to mark that this was land and then they left.
Māui and his crew came and the tamariki said “He whenua! He whenua!” (The land! The land!)
Māui said “Kao, he tiritiri o te Moana” (no that is not land,it is a mirage)
Then Māui realised that there was land and he realized that the mirage they saw wasn’t a mirage, it was land.
Once they got to the land they saw that there were 2 taniwha guarduing the bay. They defeated the two taniwha. They celebrated by naming the mountain and mountain range – Ka Tiritiri o te Moana (mirage of the ocean). After his mistake, he also named one of the mountains Tihei mauri Ora (call to claim the right to speak) and the bay Piopiotahi after his bird.
