Te Wai Pounamu is a M ori name for New Zealand's South Island which is also sometimes referred to as Te Waka a Maui (The canoe of Maui), from mythology. Ng i Tahu, the principal M ori iwi (tribe) of the southern region of New Zealand, utilised the very hard greenstone (jade) to make adzes and other implements, as well as ornaments. Particularly valued was a paler nephrite which the M ori called inanga, gathered in a remote area near what is now called the Dart Valley. M ori named the district w hi pounamu, meaning "place of greenstone", and the South Island came to be called Te W hi Pounamu.
