I’ve learnt that Okatia was a spirit that was trapped within a tree, and he couldn't be separated. I've also learnt that he was swept away by the sea goddess when he got to the sea, instead of rooting there and was never seen again.

# data[].attributes.body
um so he really just wanted to see the sea and as he moved he teared the ground as a river followed him along and that made the Manawatu river

# data[].attributes.body
That’s Okatia had heard rumours of Moana so he uprooted himself

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve learnt a new legend and I’ve also learnt that there was a spirit trapped inside the tree so that’s why it moved...

# data[].attributes.body
I know that Okatia was a spirt Trapped inside a tree and he got washed away down the river .It did not tell me why the name was given but ie found out alot more:)

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that Okatia wanted to see the sea so he uprooted himself and started rolling down a hill .And he left a big trail behind him , and water flowed in and pushed him to the sea this stream was the Manawatu river.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Okatia uprooted and wanted to see the sea and made a huge crack in the earth and water started flowing through from the sea which formed the Manawatu gorge

He wanted to find out what the sea looked like.
