The Blue Lake


The story surrounding Blue Lake is a simple one.
The daughter of a high born chief was bathing in its crystal waters and wore the Tikitapu (sacred greenstone neck ornament.) The piece was held about her neck by a tightly woven flax cord, but managed to dislodge itself while she swam. A frenzied search followed as family searched for the sacred heirloom of her tribe. Alas it wasn't to be found. The blue waters of the lake still hide the Tikitapu that was lost so long ago.
