Today had us in the stunning fjords of Aotearoa, New Zealand’s largest National Park, Te Reo Māori. The name of this place is linked to the incredible story of the demigod Maui who died trying to win immortality for his beloved people. A single piopio, a now-extinct native bird, flew over this land to mourn him.
