Hoturapa

Hoturapa is a Māori chief from Hawaiki, the place of origin in Polynesian mythology. His story highlights aspects of Māori values such as inter-tribal relationships and consequences of deceit.

As a chief and fisherman, Hoturapa demonstrates physical capabilities, such as diving into the water to free a fishing line. However, he is also shown to be vulnerable to trickery, as evidenced by his interactions with Kupe.
