The Māori Gods - Book Three: The Battle at Te Paerangi (English)

The Māori Gods, Book Three - The Battle at Te Paerangi
Te Pakanga i Te Paerangi tells the story of the battle between Tūmatauenga and Whiro; sons of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother). This is an event that stemmed from long-held grudges between the two brothers and each of their factions.
Disagreement over the separation of their parents was just one of the incidents that in the end, gave rise to war and the brothers leaving to permanent and separate dwellings.
Here, we are introduced to brothers not mentioned in previous stories but whose actions and contributions led to the fall of Whiro. We learn how he fled to The Underworld. It is from there and to this day, that Whiro-te-Tipua continues to wage war on Tāne and us, his human descendants in the form of diseases and pestilence.
Series Summary
Whether we believe in the existence of a higher being or creator or not, most of us are curious to know what underpins the cultural differences amongst us.
This is a series of graphic novellas designed to re-tell the traditional stories of New Zealand’s Māori people in an innovative and contemporary format.
We’ve created these at a time when the Māori culture and language are receiving a lot of attention in the public and private sectors of business and education. Our aim is to give people, meaningful insights into what underpins Māori values and principles.

This actually PMO because you are not supposed to "make it understandable for the world" your ment to say our cultures history in truth, as it is.. none of this has been presented in a way where it is true to our culture. I've watched all the "episodes" on the Maori veiw of creation and if you really did know your history you'd know that each tribe has their own perception. I am highly dissatisfied with this content as it's only been created in this light to "make sense" to the western society. This isn't the truth for every single Maori, it's one tribes perception, mixed with a little western veiw, and that I by far the truth. Our culture is so important to us, we are one of the last countries to be able to have a say (in western society, thanks to the treaty) and we are mixing it up? No. You tell the world the truth.
Highly disappointed.

It is pretty much what I was taught as a child but yes it is made more understandable for foreigners.. but unless you are a Maori who has lived among the forest, mountains or seas you can never fully grasp the deepness of our ancestors nor our traditions or beliefs.
