Tales from the mythologies of Creation, Maui and Aoraki Check out the Maori version of the creation story of NZ, featuring everyone's favorite trickster demi-God Maui! Starting with a version of the Maori Creation myth we then see the Sky Father and Earth Mother separated, before joining Maui and his brothers on a fishing trip which culminates in the catch of the North Island of New Zealand. Aoraki and his brothers also go on a sea voyage, and this results in the formation of the South Island.
