So that's how Maui met his end.

so he was trying to enter her birth canal while she slept!!!!!!!!!! nope nothing dodgy about that.no wonder the piwakawaka started laughing.
THANKYOU for posting that bit of folklore/legend
if you havent satthrough the kids movie MOANA ...do so,it caused a fair bit of controversy when it came out as Maui was depicted as "pacifica" not Maori....but as a 27th generation K1W1 personally I reckon they did it justice.
