LEGEND “The Pierced Mountain” – Hiro, god <strong>of</strong> thieves, plotted to steal the<br />
mountain <strong>of</strong> Rotui on Moorea and take it to Raiatea. Pai—who was half<br />
god, half man, and had great strength—was warned <strong>of</strong> Hiro’s evil intent<br />
by the gods. So he kept vigil from Point Tata’a on <strong>Tahiti</strong>. When the thieves<br />
attempted to steal the mountain, Pai threw his spear through the top <strong>of</strong><br />
Mouaputa, wakening the roosters who sounded the alarm and drove <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
robbers. However, the thieves managed to steal a piece <strong>of</strong> the mountain,<br />
and with it some toa trees, which today can be found isolated on a mountain<br />
in Raiatea. And Mouaputa, one <strong>of</strong> Moorea’s three mountains, still has the<br />
needle hole from Pai’s spear.
