Hineahuone and Tane
Storyboard Text
- Tāne the procreator set the parents apart so that there could be light and growth; so that people could be generated on earth.
- He found instead the uha of plant life, and by joining the heavenly element of himself to this female element, gave growth to the plant life on earth.
- After the separation of Rangi and Papa, Tāne wished to justify his deed by joining the male and heavenly element of himself to the female and earthly element that I am, in order to generate mortal beings.
- He searched everywhere for me, the uha of mankind, but I was hidden from him.
- He found the uha of various creatures of the earth and gave growth to animal life.
- It was Papatūanuku, the earth mother, who kept me hidden, keeping secret the hiding place of the uha of mankind.
- Then, when all was ready on earth for mortal beings, she told Tāne to form woman from clay at Kurawaka.
- So Tāne went to Kurawaka, the pubic region of Papatūanuku and formed a new shape for me from her clay.
- He was assisted in this by the Great Being and the many godly beings of the high heavens, who gifted or shaped the different parts of me.
- Tāne blew on me, my eyes opened and I drew breath.
- I sneezed and I was alive
- But Tāne's searching was not yet over. He sought a way in which to combine our two elements - and so produced mortal life.He searched my body, acting in it's orifices. These first contacts produced ear-wax, tears, mucus, saliva, sweat, and excreta.
- But in acting within my clitoral opening our male and female elements came together and Hinetitama was conceived.
- Within my human shape, I, Hine-ahu-one, held first human life.
- Tihei Mauri Ora
- The End
