Kupe and the Great Octopus of Muturangi
Synopsis
Kupe's voyage to Aotearoa!
Kupe found that a huge, fearsome wheke (octopus) was taking all the fish in the ocean and the people of Hawaiki had nothing to eat.
So Kupe chased that wheke across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean).
Finally Hine-te-Aparangi, Kupe's wife, saw land and a long white cloud: Aotearoa!
Find out what happened when the wheke and Kupe had a massive battle . . .
