Fact 1. Maui always argued against his brothers when they made excuses of why he could not go fishing with them but that was never enough so he found himself hiding away in there waka.
Fact 2. While Maui was weaving his fishing line he recited an old karakia to give the fishing line more strength
Fact 3. As time past Maui's fish and the canoe was noticed as the north and south island of Aotearoa
I have heard of many stories of Maui some include how Maui slowed the sun & how Maui found the secret of fire

Well done for completing the first activity. Maui is a very interesting character. There are many myths and legends about him.
Hopefully your school library has some that maybe you could read sometime.
