In Māori mythology, Tane-Rore is the personification of shimmering air as it performs a haka for his mother Hine-raumati.
The child of Tama-nui-te-ra and Hine-raumati, Tane-rore is credited with the origin of dance.
It is Māori belief that on occasions when the land is so hot that the air shimmers, you can see Tane-rore perform a haka for his mother.
The wiriwiri or shimmering air is reminiscent of his trembling hand actions.
