Whaitere – The Enchanted Stingray is one of the traditional Maori myths or teaching stories of the Maori people. The story tells of a young stingray named Whaitere, whose parents suddenly disappear. With help from the sea maiden, Hinemoana, Whaitere sets out to search for her parents in the underworld.
Whaitere finally finds her parents, but in doing so is given a huge responsibility – to look after the ocean. Whaitere becomes a Guardian and is tasked with teaching others to respect and care for the ocean. With the ongoing destruction today of our seas and the ensuing threats to marine life, Our seas need protection from many things as well, such as contamination, global warming, dumping and the potential extinction of animals. That’s why it’s an important story to share with today’s children.
