1822Proc. Church Missionary Soc. 364 They say, that, at the death of a Chief, his soul goes to the Treaingha, at the North Cape. 1830New Zealanders x. 236 Réinga signifies, properly, the place of flight; and is said, in some of the accounts, to be a rock or a mountain at the North Cape, from which, according to others, the spirits descend into the next world through the sea. 1884M. A. Martin Our Maoris vi. 79 The natives in the north of the island still point out the cliff from which the spirits [of the dead] made their descent into the sea on their way back to the Island of Hawaii, from whence their forefathers came. This cliff was called the Re-i-nga, i.e., the leaping-place. 1938R. Finlayson Brown Man's Burden 48 Depart, O father, to the Reinga, to the far Hawaiki, to the Lord of the Dead. 1949P. H. Buck Coming of Maori iv. iv. 516 Thus death closed the account of the body, and the soul (wairua) entered the spirit land (reinga) with a clean sheet and without apprehension. |
