Turehu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Māori mythology, the turehu are a race of pale spirit beings which are sometimes hostile to humans.
According to a story from the Ngāti Kahu tribe of the far north of the North Island of New Zealand, the Turehu live in Rangiawhiao. After the Turehu were tricked by Kahukura into showing him how fishing nets were made, some traveled to the Taranaki district in the west of the North Island of New Zealand while the others remained in Rangiawhiao but moved inland. And there they remain to this day.
