Maui is a prominent figure in the mythology and legends of Polynesia and Maori (a native people of New Zealand) in particular. He is a Demigod/hero/trickster figure possessed of supernatural powers including the ability to take the form of animals. His exploits include the slowing of the sun, The discovery of how to make fire, the fishing up of the land and the attempt to conquer death (at which he failed). He is known by many names, most usually Maui Tikitiki A Taranga (Maui who was born in the topknot of Taranga) a name which relates to the manner of his premature birth by his mother Taranga, Goddess of the sea. Many stories about or involving him are well-known in New Zealand and often used in classrooms of all ages for teaching of both English skills and Maori culture, and sometimes simply as another story that can be read for entertainment.
