Which excerpt from the Maori creation myth shows that the Maori believe they are a strong and powerful people?

The excerpt that directly portrays the Māori as strong and powerful is the one describing their ability to master anything they decide to conquer. That statement identifies Tû’s descendants as the Māori and emphasizes their strength and determination. The other excerpts describe events in the creation myth without making that claim about the Māori.
