Tāne

Atua o te ngahere, o ngā manu, o ngā kararehe, o te tangata, o te waka hoki. Nāna i whakawehe ōna mātua ka tokona te rangi ki runga ake. He pūtake ia nō te wānanga, nō ngā mea katoa e pā ana ki te mātauranga. Ko Tāne tētahi o ngā atua tino nui i te ao Māori, he whānui tōna pānga ki ngā mea maha.
