Paoro
Paoro is a mythical entity that appears in early Māori creation myths. The name ''Paoro'' (meaning ''echo'') appears in John White's English translation of a Māori story attributed by him to the Ngāti Hau tribe, as a personal name meaning 'Echo'. However, in the Māori language original which White also supplies, the name Paoro does not appear – instead the word used is 'pari-kārangaranga', "echoing cliff". In the Māori story, Mārikoriko (Twilight) is the first woman, created by Ārohirohi (Shimmering heat) from the heat of the sun (Kau-ata-ata) and the echoing cliff (Paoro). She married Tiki, the first man, and gave birth to Hine-kau-ataata In the Māori mythology of the Ngāti Hau tribe, Hine-kau-ataata, translated as "maid swimming in the shadow," is the daughter of Tiki (mythology), Tiki (Man) and Mārikoriko (Twilight). When she is born, the first clouds appear in the sky. Ref ... (Woman floating in shadows). References Legendary Māori people {{Māor ...

Māori People
Māori () are the Indigenous peoples of Oceania, indigenous Polynesians, Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from East Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of Māori migration canoes, canoe voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350. Over several centuries in isolation, these settlers developed Māori culture, a distinct culture, whose language, mythology, crafts, and performing arts evolved independently from those of other eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early Māori moved to the Chatham Islands, where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group, the Moriori. Early contact between Māori and Europeans, starting in the 18th century, ranged from beneficial trade to lethal violence; Māori actively adopted many technologies from the newcomers. With the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted for a generation. Rising ten ...

Tiki (mythology)
In Māori mythology, Tiki is the List of protoplasts, first man created by either Tūmatauenga or Tāne. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond; she seduced him and he became the father of Hine-kau-ataata. By extension, a tiki is a large or small wooden, pounamu or other stone carving in humanoid form, although this is a somewhat archaic usage in the Māori language, where a tiki is usually a hei-tiki, a pendant worn around the neck. Hei-tiki are often considered taonga, especially if they are older and have been passed down throughout multiple generations. Carvings similar to tiki and coming to represent Ancestor worship, deified ancestors are found in most Polynesian cultures. They often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant sites. The word has cognates in other Polynesian languages, such as ''tii'' in Tahitian language, Tahitian and ''kii'' in Hawaiian language, Hawaiian. In the Western world, Tiki culture, a movement inspired by various Pacific cultu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
