Kanawa, Kiri Te. Land of the
Long White Cloud: Maori Myths, Tales and Legends.
New York: Arcade Publishing, Inc., 1989. Page #:
87-90.
Details:
All the above sources were used in pretty much the same way: gathering
of background information for the story and characters.
The greatest changes I made to the original myths:
The stories of Hotu-puku, Peke-haua, and Kataore are three seperate
legends but all do hold the common element of Pitaka the Dragonslayer.
In the original myth of Hotu-puku:
Hotu-puku really does eat the villagers
He is not asleep when Pitaka kills him
He is mean and ruthless
In the original myth of Peke-haua:
Peke-haua is not Hotu-puku's brother
He does not mourn for Hotu-puku
In the original myth of Kataore:
Kataore is a he not a she
Kataore is not related to either Hotu-puku or Peke-haua
Kataore does not use Tuhikarapapa for leverage in peace negotiations
Kataore eats Tuhikarapapa

Image:
After spending a solid half hour looking for an image for this story
and coming up with nada I decided to use this. It is not a
traditional Maori anything, let alone dragon, but it fit the theme and
I was desperate. This image is copyright Katherine Lauder and is
used without her permission. Please visit her online gallery as
she has some totally awsome pictures displayed there.
