How Māui Slowed the Sun - in Sand Art ( English Version)

In this enchanting video you'll learn the ancient māori story of how Māui, a demigod known for his incredible strength and cunning slows down the Sun ( Tama-Nui-Te-Ra). According to legend, the sun would race across the sky making the days short - Māui creates a plan that would help bring longer days to the people of earth.
