MAORI TOTEM POLE & THE HAKA ~ WAR DANCE
SOUTH AMERICAN (MAYAN & AZTEC) and NATIVE AMERICAN
Religions have elements in common with the MAORI. BRIAN
has observed this in PERU and BRIAN & I in MEXICO and the
USA. Male & Female Deities : Effigies and Totem Poles etc.
MAORI RELIGION : In the Beginning there was NOTHING
RANGI : The Sky God & PAPA The Earth Mother
Created the Earth and the Heavens : They had many Children
TAWHIRI MATEA : God of the Winds
TANGOROA : God of the Sea and Fish
TANA MAHUTA : God of the Forest : Flora & Fauna
HAUMIA TIKETIKE : God of Wild Plants
RONGO MA TANE : God of Cultivated Plants
TU MATAUENGA : God of War
RANGI & PAPA separated and the light appeared
TANA MAHUTA became the GOD of the DAY
MAORI RELIGION is less Objective than JUDAISM
MAORI RELIGION is more Subjective than CHRISTIANITY
Many MAORIS have embraced the teachings of CHRISTIANITY
This is a very brief introduction ~ comments welcome ~ ANGELA
The BIBLE teaches that MAN (Human beings) was created
in the \"Likeness of GOD\" with the ability to understand the
Existence of God and to communicate with Him through
Worship & Prayer. MAN is a worshipping ANIMAL !
Many Maoris have become Christians and have their own
Maori translation of the Bible and have composed their
own Hymns and also Maori Translations of UK Hymns.
The MAORI are very Spiritual People. Love ANGELA XXXX
