タウポについて

タウポはニュージーランドの北島の中心にあり、タウポの中心部にはニュージーランドの素晴らしい内海であるタウポ湖があります。湖を旅すると、想像できるあらゆる風景が見つかります。雪で覆われた冬のスキー場とアルプスの砂漠。鳥の鳴きで生きている古代の森。トラウトに満ちた川と雷鳴のフカの滝。若返りの温泉で地熱谷を蒸す。トンガリロ国立公園の素晴らしい異世界の風景の中にそびえ立つ3つの火山。

ザ・レジェンド

伝説によると、Ngatoroirangiは湖の創造を担当したということです。彼の信者を定住するのに適した場所を探しながら、彼はタウハラ山の頂上に登り、そこでは彼の前に大きな塵の鉢を置いた。

この不毛の地域での成長を促進したいNgatoroirangiは、山腹からトタラの木を根絶し、それをダストボウルに投げ込んだ。西風で彼はマークを見逃し、木は逆さまに上陸した。その枝は土を突き刺し、淡水が湧いてタウポモアナ-タウポの海を形成しました。この木は、ワーワカポイントの海岸から約70m離れた水面下でも見えると言われています。

新しく作られた湖のほとりで感謝祭の奉仕の後、彼はマントからストランドを摘み、それらを水の中に投げ込み、そこで湖の本来の魚になりました。これらのうちの1人がウナギに変わりましたが、短い距離を離れて死んだ。現在に至るまで湖にはまだウナギはいない。

ザ・ヒストリー

この地域の元の住民(tangata whenua)は、今日ここに残るマオリ族であった:Ngati Tuwharetoa。部族はアラワ移住カヌーのナビゲーターで大祭司であるナガトロイランギからの降下を主張する。アラワカヌーが西暦750年にアオテアロア/ニュージーランドに上陸した後、ナガトロイランギと同じカヌーの親戚であるティアは、中央高原地域を最初に探索する競い合った。

ティアの出来事のバージョンは、彼が湖の東側に到着したことを語った。彼は大雨のマント(タウポ)に似た崖の形成を指摘した。その後、祭壇を設置し、その場所をティアの大外套であるタウポ・ヌイ・ア・ティアと名乗った。これは最終的にタウポと略された。

しかし、Ngatoroirangiも夕暮れ時に同じ東岸線に到着し、そこにキャンプを構えました。彼の子孫はまた、タウポ(定住または休むため)とポー(夜)に由来すると主張している。Ngatoroirangiは彼の祭壇を設置し、ティアよりも古いと主張し、周囲の土地の所有権を彼に挑戦した。ティアは最終的に彼に譲り、チティラウペンガ山のふもとにある地域に西へ移動し、そこで定住した。

1980年代、マインベイにある高さ10メートルのマオリ岩彫刻は、先見の明のあったマオリの航海者であり部族の指導者と考えられていたンガトロイランギの認識で、彼の子孫によって彫刻された。
