Raemaru was the tallest mountain on Rarotonga. Raemaru is
on the west side of Rarotonga in the village of Puaikura or now known as Arorangi.
Raemaru means in the shade of the sun. The fame of the mountain reached as far
as Aitutaki island Aitutaki was completely flat then, and so they sent some
warriors to steal the mountain.
Hence, in the
night these Aitutakian warriors cut the mountain top off and took it back to Aitutakian
so now Raemaru has a flat top which has been that way long before white man ever
set foot on Rarotonga and Aitutaki has a small mountain.
