Karihi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Māori mythology, Karihi is a brother or cousin of Tāwhaki

In one story, Hema was killed by the Ponaturi, and Karihi, with his mother and his brother Tāwhaki, killed them all but two in revenge. They tricked the Ponaturi into entering a house, and then locked them in, claiming there was still time before the dawn. They then opened the door after the sun was up, the Ponaturi died at the exposure to sunlight.
