NÅ Te Ika a Maui anake te manu Huia. He rongonui tÄ te mea, o manu katoa o te ao, ko te Huia anake te manu he rere kÄ“tanga o te ngutu uha ki tÅ te ngutu toa. He roa, he tÄwhana, te ngutu o te uha hei tÄ«karo ngÄngara i ngÄ rÄkau. He motuhenga ngÄ ngutu o te toa, ko tÄna he pao i te rÄkau pirau hei tiki kai. He manu Ätaahua, he karaka Åna werewere he pango Åna huruhuru, he tea te pito o te remu. Kitea rawatia ai te Huia i te wao o MÅkai PÄtea whÄnui, he tino kaitiaki ia. Ngaro noa atu te Huia i te tirohanga kanohi i ngÄ 1900’s, ka noho hei kaitiaki-Ä-wairua.
