In Maori mythology, the land is referred to as Papatuanuku or the Earth Mother, and she is regarded as the source of all things. According to some stories, she came from the water, and after the land rose from the water, it gave birth to all life. In the Maori world view, land provides the basis for life and is a powerful mother figure who gives her blessings to her children.
In Maori creation traditions, Papatuanuku emerged from the ocean. This concept is related to the experiences of people who live on the vast Pacific Ocean. In Maori folklore, the legendary trickster Maui would frequently fish on remote islands in the Pacific.
As the earth mother, the whole earth is said to be a manifestation of her lying on her back.
