Rauti para tablet training project, Rakahanga and Manihiki

Description:
The legend of Maui who fished the atoll of Manihiki is a popular folklore that the people of Manihiki like to depic t, sing and dance about as a reminder of their beginnings. The people of Rakahanga and Mani hiki tell stories when Rakahanga was the main settlement and people travelled to and fro between the two islands mainly to forage for food on Manihiki. However, this practice was discouraged by the missionaries because canoes were getting lost at sea, and so they encouraged the people to settle permanently on the two islands.
