| When
Maui was born, his mother thought he was dead so she threw his body into
the ocean. But the great god Tama saw the baby and took him under
the sea to live with him. When Maui got a bit older, he decided to go in
search of his mother. So, he turned himself into a bird and flew
back to his family. How is this a creation myth? You will understand
when you read Maui and the Big Fish. |
