Hine-Kau-Ataata

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


In Polynesian mythology (specifically: Maori), Hine-Kau-Ataata ("gentle, lonely woman" or "lady of the early, gentle, floating shadows") is the daughter of the first man and woman, Marikoriko and Tiki. When she was born, clouds appeared; this is a good omen.
