Hinemoa was a woman of the Te Arawa, known in Māori tradition for swimming across Lake Rotorua to Mokoia island to be with Tūtānekai, with whom she was in love. The story has been widely transmitted and forms the basis for one version of the song Pokarekare Ana. It has also been adapted into several silent film productions.
