Acknowledgements

Last year a Maori Festival Committee was formed in Rotorua and a Festival based on the Napier/Hastings pattern was successfully held over two nights. Congratulations Rotorua! The Wairoa and Central Hawke’s Bay Festivals are now well established, and the Napier/Hastings committee continues to stage a four night festival to cater for all schools wishing to participate. Interest in the Festival is as high now, as it was eight years [ago] when it was first staged in the Napier Boys High School hall.

Tutors from the community and teachers themselves, continue to put in many hours to teach aspects of Maoritanga, to over 2000 children, in readiness for the Festival and other Maori Cultural activities. To all these people we say ‘Kia ora”

The ‘Gallery’ managers have asked that special mention be made of the Principals who over the years, have accompanied their cultural groups into the “Gallery’’. Their presence has given support not only to their school group, but also to the ‘‘Gallery” team. The Festival Committee farewelled Mr W. Billing, a foundation member and Treasurer who has moved to Christchurch. He was presented with a pata on your behalf.

Tena Koutou! Tena Koutou! Tena Koutou Katoa.

HOW MAUI MADE THE SUN SLOW DOWN.

Maui had asked his wife to cook food for him. She set out to do so but had no sooner heated the stones for the hangi than the sun went down and they had to eat the food in the dark.

Maui thought about how they could slow the sun down. He told his brothers how they could snare the sun and slow it down so as the people would have longer days to do more things.

The brothers were frightened but Maui said his magical powers would overcome the fierce heat of the sun.

They finally agreed to help him and set about cutting all the flax they could find to make the snare. Maui invented new ways to plait flax so as to strengthen the snare.

Then when all was ready the brothers took up the snare and Maui took the jawbone of his ancestress, Muri ranga whenua, and some provisions and set out in the dark to avoid being seen by the sun.

When they reached the pit where the sun always appeared they built a high wall of clay and stones on all sides and four huts for the brothers to hide in. They set the snare and waited.

Maui lay behind the wall on the western side. In his hand he had the magic jawbone. He whispered final instructions to his brothers,”Keep hidden, pull hard when I shout, don’t ease off or feel sorry for the sun when I beat him.” |

The day dawned grey at first but then flaming red as the sun rose. His fire spread over the mountains, plains and sea. When his head and shoulders were in the snare Maui shouted and the snare was tightened.

Maui attacked the sun with his enchanted weapon and beat him cruelly. The sun screamed and groaned in agony but Maui struck him more savagely until the sun begged for mercy. But the brothers held tight. At last Maui signalled and they let the sun go. The sun crept slowly out of the pit and more slowly up into the sky and has done so ever since.

During the struggle the second name of the sun was learned by man. As he struggled in agony the sun cried out,”Why treat me this way? Why do you wish to kill Tama nui te ra?

That was his name meaning Great son the Day which was not known before. [“Great son of the Sun”]
