    In1996 I spent around four months travelling around the country of my birth before I headed away overseas for seven years. I ventured into some incredible locations and met some very interesting people as I hitchhiked around the islands. When I hitched from Rotorua into the Te Urewera National Park I got a ride with a former gang member and cannabis grower who had for years grown his crops on the slopes of Pirongia mountain.
    He told me a story about about the experience of the final crop that he grew on the mountain, one which he left to rot rather than harvest. I queried why he had done this. Was he close to being arrested by the Police? The answer he gave to me was extraordinary. He told me that he had gone into the location where his crop was weeks before harvest to find enormous footprints all through the plants, footprints of a large bipedal hominid.
    To him, this was a sign that the faerie folk, the Patupaiarehe, who supposedly had retreated to the mountain tops when the first wave of Polynesian colonists came to these islands had come down into his crop. I had heard stories of the strange happenings on this maunga (mountain), Pirongia. Since arriving back in New Zealand in late 2002 I had driven past this infamous peak and never come to climb it.
    Until now...

    I recently moved to the foot of Pirongia and I didn’t know you could drive over the Maunga until my son visited and told me Apple Maps directed him up Pekanui Road onto Okupata Road. Now it’s the only way I like to get home from Ak where I grew up but was never home. Im often late coming back from Ak and just love that mountain at night. I knew of the Patupaiarehe and have been respectful in the knowing. Now I must climb to the top this summer.

    I was with the MIlitary in the SOuth Island for a number of years. We spent many hours in the bush, so remote that we were dropped in by 3 Sqd when they were flying Hueys. We would be put in to search for loast trampers, hunters etc. A few times we came across strange things including big foot prints but the things I was most interested in was the stone ruins of little buildings. I contacted Te Papa about what I saw and they never got back to me and I never went back to these places as they were remote. I often wonder about what these were. One other thing that was awesome to see was an Eel that was as big as a car. The Eel was so big that the Pilot, when he saw it it first, actually turned the Heli around just to prove to the rest of us that he had seen such a massive eel. Again, this was remote, the old thing had been able to grow old without being hunted by boys eeling at night.

      Museums have no interest in anything that departs from the official Smithsonian narrative. Giants skulls are definitely off their list. They're not interested. Look into the folklore and stories of the mountain near Raglan.

      @@elettewheeler7893 No funding in exploring narratives that question the official one. I thought science was for the curious, seems as though this may be the case for some open minded scientists. There is too much evidence available to us now to deny that ancient texts from all over the world and traditional people's oratory knowledge of history that tell of a magical landscape to the close minded is imagination.

      It's a magical place. I feel that these 'islands' of forest in the green desert of the North Island that are mountains and ranges are the last refuges of the magic that once was held in the forest that covered the lowlands. Pirongia is a very very special place. I have had a few people tell me stories about that mystical mountain since moving back to my country of birth in 2003. You're living in a beautiful location Kathy.

    Seven of us went off track on Pirongia, stepping stones up a stream. Suddenly, something got into us and we simultaniously all went bush for no reason. We were lost (but together) for about 4 hours. We ran across someones hidden weed patch, and scarpered. Sometimes the bush was so thick, we had to crawl under it to get through. I was scared we'd have to spend the night up there, but we kept heading down hill until we found the stream again. It was very disorientation, and at one stage we were chased by wild bees, and some got a few stings. It has never made any sense why we did that.

    Yes, plenty of evidence if one delves deep. If you can find a copy of Velikovsky's 'Worlds in Collision', he even references Maori folklore in relation to simultaneous Earth and cosmic changes happening at the time on both sides of the world. Night and day.

    Earlier this year I went for a stroll around the shore line of Lake Ōkataina to view some ancient Maori rock art.
    I was alone and it didn’t take long to notice something felt off. I could sense that I was being watched, I felt disoriented and kept being led the wrong way. There was resonant frequency in the air and I could sense it was affecting me. I become a little anxious so I turned around and gave up looking for the rock art.

      I have only recently began investigating and visiting these tapu places so unfortunately I have no means of comparing it to previous stations in time.
      What I will say is many of my visits have left me overwhelmed, often sadness strikes hard.
      More needs to be done to preserve these special places, to tell their stories so that the Mauri can be revitalised.

      I grew up with stories my Mum shared with me about my Grandfather and other Uncles who carved the first road through Waipoua and how they would put raw meat around their campsite to keep them from entering in when they would sleepover in the forest. They would hear ethereal flute music and low chanting now and than and would raise the hair on their necks. I would’ve loved to of experience that however with the encroachment of human activity and loss of our natural bush like any other sentient being that we share this planet with, are under threat. We live in Australia for now and our 20 year old son happened to ask what I knew about our Patupaearehe last night so I shared what I knew. I also shared they are there to remind us to respect, nurture and care for our native ngahere.

So close! I often wonder if they were looking for whatever it was that made those footprints., on the roof. Never did find out but I’ll never forget those large footprints ( yes definitely bigger than any human), they were wet and sandy on my wooden steps. Whatever it was came from the beach.

    Maori mythology is something left over from the infancy their intelligence. Take for example the myth of the slowing down of the sun. In the days of old Tamanuiterā, the sun, used to move through the sky at much too fast a pace for humanity to complete all their days' chores leaving long, cold nights that lasted for many hours while Tamanuiterā slept. Māui and his brothers journeyed to Tamanuiterā's sleeping pit with a large rope, which in some tellings was made from their sister Hina's hair. The brothers fashioned the rope into a noose or net, and in doing so "discovered the mode of plaiting flax into stout square-shaped ropes, (tuamaka); and the manner of plaiting flat ropes, (paharahara); and of spinning round ropes", which when Tamanuiterā awoke found himself caught in. Using a patu made from the jawbone of their grandmother, Murirangawhenua, Māui beat the sun into agreeing to slow down and give the world more time during the day. So you see if that had not happened McDonald´s would only be serving breakfast.

      No. Our stories are our most precious Taonga. We share them with our mokopuna and in doing so we tether them to their tupuna. Intellect will hinder ones spiritual connection. It will cause them to only see what appears to the eye. It will never allow one to see beyond the veil. If you can't see beyond the veil than Te Ao will never yield it's intelligence which teaches how to live. Polynesians have stood for far longer than Europe. Even if all the islands sink, we will never let go of who we are and who we come from.

Well im born 1st city to see the sun in the world so it says i looked into and yes he settled where he slowed the sun its in my line from him he pulled up new Zealand i feel that story sounds like what if he was in the flood hes pull it up but the water is going down he needs fire but all the story's mean real things after he pulls up new z land he waka landed on hikurangi and my family say they owned that area a rather large area big then the region now knowen as the first city to see the sun his haka speaks of a spiritual battle and he was right its is and his land stolen and his children murdered but some how im here and i take it all in they tryed to erase him or make him a myth and legend but its true heres the tricky part he was a real man when he was born all his brothers all named maui the one who pulls up nz was premature his mum wraps him in her hair then puts him in the ocean a lil like moses ? but the waves bashed him around and he lived but it says he was raised by his grandfather im thinking he was raised by God then told take the jaw bone was a patu made ?and a hook then he was told go far then catch nz so much of it to me each story i see what is written in bible like his trip for fire in bible there were ones that walk in the flames and did not burn i believe this is ro_0ts and culture that his descendants are very special theres also 3 bags another very special meaning thats tied to the begin of first people in moses day its a spiritual battle of dark forces in high and low places
