The demigod Māui was raised as a whāngai by his grandfather, Tamanui-ki-te-rangi, who rescued him from the beach where he was washed up as a baby. In this illustration Māui is learning from his grandfather about the traditions of his people, including Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku, the earth mother.
