***CULTURE***

**IDEOLGIES-**

Polynesian culture can be described by five major issues: hierarchy, obedience, family, land, and spirituality. Due to geographic isolation and island living, Polynesians developed a culture of community living that enveloped every part of their lives.Polynesian cultures displayed a thoroughly practical exploitation of the environment. Their languages reflect their systematic observations of the natural world, abounding with terminology for stars, currents, winds, landforms, and directions.

**MYTHOLOGIES-**

MAUI-In Polynesian culture the demigod Maui is highly worshiped and celebrated it is believed that Maui brought the Polynesian islands to the surface from the bottom of the sea, captured and harnessed the sun, lifted the sky to allow human beings more room, and, like Prometheus, gave them fire. CREATION-In the beginning there was a giant shell. In the top of it was the sky, Rangi and in the bottom was the earth, Papa. These were the parents of gods, humans and all life in the world. They loved each other very much, held each other in a close embrace and very soon they had given birth to six children. As the children began to grow there was not much room inside the shell and, longing for light and space, the children began to resent being confined between their parents’ bodies. So they plotted to separate their parents and bring about the world as we know it. The six sons: Tawhirimagtea, the god of the winds; Tane, god of the forests; Tu, god of war; Tangaroa, god of the sea; Rongo, god of peace and Ru, god of food could not agree on the best way to separate the sky and the earth and quarrelled violently. One son suggested killing the parents and Tawhirimagtea opposed separating them altogether and refused to take part in the plot. Tane however, eventually managed to prise Rangi and Papa apart. He did this by lying on his back and forcing the shell open with his feet pressing upwards, just as a tree has its roots in the earth while its trunk and branches stretch towards the sky. Rangi and Papa were finally separated and the sky and the earth have remained apart ever since. Tawhirimagtea, the god of winds and storms, was furious with his brothers. He could not bear to see his parents being torn apart and decided to make his home between Rangi and Papa. He promised his brothers however, that they would forever have to deal with his fury so, from time to time, he sends storms, whirlwinds, thunder and lightening to the world, as a reminder of his anger. When the space between the earth and sky was wide enough the sons decided to make humans. They worked together to mould people out of red clay. When they had finished Tane, god of the forest took the figures of man and woman and pressing his nose to theirs, breathed the spirit of life into their lungs. The humans’ eyes opened. They sneezed and came to life. Papa and Rangi were proud of what their sons had created but they still missed each other’s touch. And so every night Rangi cries and in the morning the world is damp with the dew of his tears. The morning mists are Papa’s sighs of sadness, as she thinks of her beloved Rangi, now separated from her embrace. PELE-Pele, the Fire Goddess: Pele is the goddess of fire and volcanoes in Hawaiian mythology. She is associated with the creation and destruction of land and is often depicted as a powerful and tempestuous deity. TANGAROA-Tangaroa and the Ocean: Tangaroa is a major god in Polynesian mythology, representing the sea and marine life. Legends often depict him as a benevolent deity who assists humans in fishing and navigating the ocean. RONGO-Rongo, the God of Agriculture: Rongo is the Polynesian god of agriculture, responsible for crops and fertility. Stories about Rongo often revolve around the importance of farming, planting, and the cycle of growth and harvest. HINA-Hina, the Moon Goddess: Hina is a revered goddess in Polynesian mythology, associated with the moon, femininity, and beauty. She appears in various legends, often linked to the cycles of the moon and the tides.
