Tākitimu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Māori tradition, Tākitimu was the name of one of the canoes that brought the first Maori to New Zealand. After sailing to New Zealand from Hawaiki under the command of the chief Ruawharo, it was turned into stone at Murihiku in the far south of the South Island.
