The Maori people in New Zealand believe that Maui (their deity) created New Zealand. According to myth, how did Maui create the North Island of New Zealand?

He fished it out

Explanation:

Maori legend states that Maui hid in a canoe in order to go fishing with his four brothers who had wanted to leave him behind. He then revealed himself to them and when they started fishing, he used a magic fishhook which he made from the jawbone of an ancestor to fish.

He caught something huge and when he pulled it out expecting a huge fish, he instead saw a huge island which became the North Island of New Zealand. This is why the island is called 'Te Ika a Māui' (Māui’s fish). His brothers then carved out parts of the land creating mountains, valleys and rivers amongst other natural formations.
