HISTORY OF THE ISLAND
- Te Punga o Te Waka a Maui, the true Maori name, translates to "The Anchor Stone of Maui's Canoe", which is Stewart Island in the legend of Maui, who from his canoe (the South Island) caught a fish, (the North Island).
- Most people call it Rakiura though. Rakiura translates to "The great and deep blushing of Te Rakitamau" which was early a Maori Chief, and is now the glowing sunrises, sunsets and the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights, according to Māori legend.
