Tāne and Tangaroa (known as kāwai tīpuna or atua) are two of several children ‘born’
to Ranginui and Papatūānuku. They were notably possessed with supernatural powers
that have influenced the way in which te ao Māori is structured. This structure provides
a model for the way in which Māori people behave.
Task 2
(1.2)
Research three kāwai tipuna/atua – Tāne, Tangaroa and one other and identify two kaitiaki
practices for each, that are appropriate to tourism Māori, that ensure the relationship
between people and their environments are protected and kept in a healthy state. When
writing up your research, include the domain or realm they are kaitiaki of.
