They believed (and I'm sure some still do believe) in Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatuanuku, the earth mother. There's also Ranginui and Papatuanuku's children: Tumatauenga (the God of War), Tawhirimatea (the weather god), Tane Mahuta (the god of forests), Tangaroa (the sea god), Rongo (the god of agriculture), Haumia-tiketike (the god of wild plants), Rehua (a star god and healing god), and Ruaumoko (the god of the seasons, earthquakes, and volcanoes). Probably the most famous Maori god is Maui, who is the subject of many interesting stories and legends throughout Polynesia.
