Maui is a prominent figure in the mythology and legends of Polynesia and Maori (a native people of New Zealand) in particular. He is a Demigod/hero/trickster figure possessed of supernatural powers including the ability to take the form of animals. His exploits include the slowing of the sun, The discovery of how to make fire, the fishing up of the land and the attempt to conquer death (at which he failed). He is known by many names, most usually Maui Tikitiki A Taranga (Maui who was born in the topknot of Taranga) a name which relates to the manner of his premature birth by his mother Taranga, Goddess of the sea. Many stories about or involving him are well-known in New Zealand and often used in classrooms of all ages for teaching of both English skills and Maori culture, and sometimes simply as another story that can be read for entertainment.

The term 'Musket Wars' is a misnomer that has now fallen out of use in academic circles. It refers to a period of Maori intertribal conflict that began in the early 1800s and was all but over by the time of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, in 1840. However many of these conflicts had their roots in events that took place prior to European contact. An alternative term would be Take Wars (TAH-keh, meaning point of issue or concern) as the root cause of these wars was usually due to cultural imperatives such as utu (payment or balance) or, more likely, transgression of tapu (sacredness). Although possession of muskets greatly increased the deadliness of these conflicts, it was neither the underlying cause or the driving force behind these wars.
