The Māori Creation Story

In the beginning Ranginui (the Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (the Earth Mother) were joined together, and their children were born between them in darkness. One of their children decided to separate their parents, to also allow light to come into the world. After this, the children became gods of various parts of the natural world.
