Rangi and Papa
World parents of Māori creation story / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Māori mythology the primal couple Rangi and Papa (or Ranginui and Papatūānuku) appear in a creation myth explaining the origin of the world and the Māori people[1] (though there are many different versions). In some South Island dialects, Rangi is called Raki or Rakinui.[2]
