He is a son of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, Sky and Earth. After he joins his brothers Rongo, Tumatauenga, Haumia, and Tane in the forcible separation of their parents, he is attacked by his brother Tawhirimatea, the god of storms, and forced to hide in the sea.Tangaroa is the father of many sea creatures. Tangaroa\'s son, Punga, has two children, Ikatere, the ancestor of fish, and Tu-te-wehiwehi (or Tu-te-wanawana), the ancestor of reptiles. Terrified by Tawhirimatea’s onslaught, the fish seek shelter in the sea, and the reptiles in the forests. Ever since, Tangaroa has held a grudge with Tane, the god of forests, because he offers refuge to his runaway children. The contention between Tangaroa and Tane, the father of birds, trees, and humans, is an indication that the Maori thought of the ocean and the land as opposed realms. When people go out to sea to fish or to travel, they are in effect representatives of Tane entering the realm of Tane\'s enemy. For this reason, it was important that offerings were made to Tangaroa before any such expedition Another version of the origin of Tangaroa maintains that he is the son of Temoretu, and that Papa is his wife. Papa commits adultery with Rangi while Tangaroa is away, and in the resulting battle Tangaroa’s spear pierces Rangi through both his thighs. Papa then marries Rangi. In another legend, Tangaroa marries Te Anu-matao (chilling cold). They are the parents of the gods ‘of the fish class’, including Te Whata-uira-a-Tangawa, Te Whatukura, Poutini, and Te Pounamu (Shortland 1882:17). In some versions, Tangaroa has a son, Tinirau, and nine daughters (1891:463). As Tangaroa-whakamau-tai he exercises control over the tides.In the South Island, his name can take the form Takaroa.BUY-IT-NOW PAYPAL ONLYIMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND offer ACCORDINGLY AS THE ITEMS I LIST ARE SOMETIMES OLD AND UNUSUAL AND THERE WILL BE RANDOM FLAWS OR UNKNOWN MARKS AT TIMES SO IF YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WANTS FLAWLESS ITEMS AND LIKES TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE ITEMS FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING BUYERS REMORSE THEN THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE sale FOR YOU...LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS...I TOOK PLENTY OF THEM.
