===Sea spots=== | |||
'''Sea spots'''([[Nawuhu]]: ''Yalmau Kopíai''; ''lit.'' Sea's Spots, Sea's Secret Places) are specific places in the surrounding ocean of Wuhu Island that are mythologically or culturally important in [[Nawuhu mythology]] and Nawuhu folk religion as a whole. The oldest sea spots are rooted in centuries-old mythology: for example, the area that is currently used for wakeboarding by tourists is known as the ''Nojagolókopi''; the supposed grave of the legendary Sea Serpent, ''Nojagolókoa''. | |||
