MANTARAY 23.tif

Download
Māori have lived around these waters for centuries, and have always known the manta rays were here. The ancestors of Ngāti Rehua and Ngāti Manuhiri frequently criss-crossed the seaways between Aotea, Te Hauturu-o-Toi, the Mokohinau Islands and the mainland in their waka, and later in sailing boats. They call the mantas whai rahi.
