Pania of the Reef a Maori Legend
Pania of the Reef a Maori Legend. This legend is based on a wahine (girl) who came from the sea, where she spotted a handsome tane (man) drinking by the stream. They fell in love and got married. She had to go back to the sea every night and her tane wanted her to stay around with him. However he consulted a kamatua who told him that if he could feed her cooked food she would have to stay with him forever. So he did just that. But she felt betrayed and ran away back to the sea with her friends and family never to be seen again. You can see Pania waving to her lover over the sea in Napier New Zealand.

Napier City Video - Pania
PANIA
A Maori legend tells how Pania left the sea people to marry Karitoki, a chieftain whose whare (house) was sited on Napier's Bluff Hill. Pania's original family called to her at sunset and at dawn. Unable, finally, to resist their siren voices, she swam out to meet them. When she attempted to return to the shore, however, she was drawn down to the depths of the sea. Angered by her divided loyalties, Moana-nui-a-kiwa, lord of the sea, transformed her into a rocky shelf.
Located in Napier's Marine Parade Gardens, the bronze statue depicting Pania is among of the city's most recognised and photographed attractions. It is believed to be the first statue to preserve a Maori legend.

Art deco Napier, New Zealand (buildings, Pania, museum and aquarium)
Thank you for watching :)
This video is about Napier, an east coast port town of North Island Zealand and is famous for it's unique 1930s style architecture. Napier is New Zealand's 9th largest urban centre with 64,000 people.
In 1931 there was a devastating earthquake in the Napier area, destroying the buildings and so the city had to start over again. The art deco buildings line the streets making the city very popular to visit. The style art deco originated in the 1920s and can be characterised with sleek, simple, geometric and stylised design, sometimes with small relief decorative panels such as flowers.
The seaside has some very special locations. There is an interesting art deco sound shell which was built in 1935. Near by is the Pania of the Reef bronze statue which was made in 1954. The statue is based on a Maori story about Pania, a wahine maiden from the Pacific Ocean who captured the heart of a Maori cheif called Karitoki. Pania was said to marry Karitoki. Pania would hear the sirens calling her from her home in the sea, so each morning she would return to the salty water and return to the land at night. Later Karitoki and Pania had a son called Moremore. Karitoki was very worried that Pania would return to the sea with their son and he tried his best to keep her on land, however Pania could not resist and she and her son returned to the sea, never to return. The story ends with the theory that Moremore became a taniwhau, gaurdian of the sea in the shape of a shark and Pania became the reef in the bay around Napier. Across the road from Pania of the reef is the Hawkes Bay Museum, there is a lovely display which show the history, nature and cultures of the area.
Just south from the Napier Soundshell is the National Aquarium of New Zealand which was opened in 1976 and has a range of wildlife from New Zealand and around the world.
