Te Awa Atua is a groundbreaking study of menstruation in pre-colonial Māori society. Many early ethnographic accounts of menstrual rites were distorted beyond recognition by the colonial lense of their authors, yet their misinterpretations continue to be accepted as authoritative.
Below are a collection of all of the Atua resources available as part of your Te Reo Club membership. This Māori Gods concertina book, also known as “He Pukapuka Whētuitui – Ngā Atua Māori”, is a wonderful activity for young and old, to learn more about the Maori gods.
“Te Ika a Māui” being changed to “The North Island” is an example of this. The Māori creation story and the Māori gods are an engaging kaupapa that can be woven in throughout many topics all throughout the year. Every learning area links to a particular atua for total integration (especially Secondary school).
Hence, this Māori Gods Resource Bundle celebrates this rich heritage as it brings the kaupapa pūrākau (stories) of ngā atua Māori into your homes and classrooms. It contains four (4) resources: a flag display for your wall (above), a set of templates for a concertina book, a collaborative puzzle, and a fortune teller.
Te Rangikaiwhiria Reiri, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori “Vibrant, evocative artwork combined with sound and animation bring these traditional Māori stories to vivid life for today's youth. This is an exciting development for the comic book medium, and an innovative way to bring these important stories into the modern age.”
Those who think that Io came from the Christian concept of God argue that there is no concrete evidence of such a being in early Māori traditions. Māori scholar Te Rangi Hīroa (Peter Buck) observed, ‘The discovery of a supreme god named Io in New Zealand was a surprise to Maori and Pakeha alike.’1
A significant creation story concerns Rangi and Papa. Ranginui (sky father) and Papatūānuku (earth mother) were locked in an eternal embrace. Their children, the departmental gods, were trapped between them in eternal darkness, and decided to try and separate their parents. The children (except Tāwhirimātea) tried and failed to separate them.
In Māori belief the natural and supernatural worlds were one – there was no Māori word for religion. The use of the term ‘whakapono’ for religion was introduced by missionaries. Whakapono also means faith and trust.
