Kei te pirangi ia ki te mate I tana matua.

Te Ao Marama
I tangi a Ranginui. Aue!
Ranginui and Papatuanuku still grieve
for their lost love.
In the mornings, Papatuanuku sends her
love on the mist to Ranginui.
Ranginui still cries for Papatuanuku, and his tears fall as rain. The morning dew reminds
Papatuanuku that he still loves her.
Tangaroa – god of the ocean
Tangaroa is a very important person in Maori mythology, and he is mentioned numerous times in ‘The Whale Rider.’
Fish were/are seen as the descendants of Tangaroa, god of the sea. Rituals and talismans were an important way to ensure his favour and protect the bounty of the ocean, lakes and rivers.
Fishing was a tapu activity. Fishermen would offer prayers to Tangaroa, and no food was allowed on a fishing trip.
When they caught the first fish they would return it to the sea, to thank Tangaroa for his gift.
