Kapiti Island Myth(UPDATED)

How Kapiti Island Was Formed


Read  Before You Read Have you ever wondered how Kapiti Island was formed  well I can tell you my version of  The Legend Of Huia a myth that has been told through my family for generations.This story also explains why Kapiti Island looks like a lady lying down.(Mainly to stop the Whanau Cousins, Brothers and Sisters to stop fighting!!!


A lonely Giant named Huia was walking around the Island she lived on. She had a big temper and did not like when things didn't go her way.One day she got very grumpy with her little brother Te Ariki because he ruined her collage she had been working on for a long long time.She threw a big tantrum and threw her brother into the water.Te Ariki was safe and unharmed.But, God was mad with Huia and decided to transfer her to a different part of New Zealand where she could no longer bother the people on Kapiti.God himself was sick of her constant whining , So he picked her up and was planning on throwing her into another part of the ocean so he did exactly that. Surprisingly Huia had been prepared for this event and she held onto a huge part of the island with her long stretchy arms and well, of course,  God did not give up and in the flicker of a light switch Huia was flying over to another part of New Zealand.
Huia’s large fingers had slipped and she had gone flying in the same direction to the  piece of the island and fell so hard she ended up plumpiting down into the island and Huia had  died in the next hour.Years past and the Island started to grow over her and that is how Kapiti Island was formed.
