	Avaiki
		According to this view, Avaiki is the 'root of the world' from which the rest of the earth was created, the home of Rongo and his family.
		Avaiki was constructed by the gods in a series of strata, with spaces separated by ceilings like caves, and tunnels giving access to its halls.
		According to some descriptions, Avaiki is a huge oven or fireplace for roasting all the dead who will subsequently be devoured by Miru, the goddess of the underworld.

	Fantasia 35 Welcome
		We threaded Avaiki slowly between fishing boats, past docked tankers and navy vessels underway, and carefully timed our turn into the quiet waters of the small-boat anchorage to avoid a dredge that industriously works the harbor en-trance from dawn to dusk.
		During the wait, Avaiki was invaded by thousands of bees, which seemed to think our boom would make a fine new home for their queen.
		Expert panga driver Luis met us in 50 minutes to lead Avaiki through smooth water, sometimes between boiling waves and washboard seas, 10 circuitous estuary miles, and smiled broadly while securing her to a mooring buoy near a palapa-roofed clubhouse.

	Avaiki Shipping Company Ltd v Attorney-General [2001] SBHC 3; HC-CC 248 of 2000 (24 January 2001)
		She said the Originating Summons was misconceived in that there was no evidence to show that there was a deed or a will giving rights to Avaiki Shipping Company Limited and thus the need to declare such rights by construing a deed or a will.
		In this case, Avaiki Shipping Company Limited was no party to the discussion process that was going on between the Prime Minister and his Permanent Secretary and the Minister of Works, Transport and Communication and his Permanent Secretary.
		Avaiki Shipping Company Limited was to be the beneficiary in terms of receiving the $1.5 million.

	avaiki - about us
		Avaiki Nius Agency sounds similar to Avaiki Nui, an umbrella group dedicated to global accountability and transparency.
		Avaiki is of course a name claimed by all Polynesian nations, from Savai'i in the west to Hawaiki in the south.
		Some might question inclusion of a coined word, but the word "nius" reflects heritage dating back to the 1800s, when Maori Cook Islanders sailed as far west as Papua New Guinea, spreading word of a new god, new leadership.

		With reports this month from Avaiki in Panama; from the Weather Gods in Southern California; from Chewbacca in Cartagena; from Sea Bear crossing the Pacific and in Papeete; from Moonshadow in Australia; from Bobcat also in Australia; and lots of Cruise Notes.
		Our Avaiki was one of them in late March, but we were sucked back into the fl hole of Panama City, where everything for boats can be repaired, replaced, or shipped in - provided you have the time and the money.
		Barillas was the perfect place for Avaiki during that time, as Heriberto and the staff kept her safe and well cared for.

	The Great Voyage
		In the karakia or story of the migration from Atia to East Polynesia, six main places of long sojourn were named where the voyagers stayed peacefully or warred: Avaiki, also defined as Avaiki-te-varinga-nui, Papua, Enua-kura, Avaiki again, Kuporu and Manuka.
		The name Avaiki, also rendered Hawaiki and subdivided into Greater and Lesser Hawaiki, was recycled many times, much as the British scattered New Britain, New Hebrides, New Caledonia across the Pacific.
		Hawaiki was the place where the voyagers from Atia first made landfall and stayed the longest.
