The Separation of Rangi & Papa - The one where Tangaroa cripples Rangi first.

from A Maori Podcast · host Ihira

Kia ora ra! I love our purakau -- especially when I can find it in Maori as opposed to it being rewritten in English. Anyways today's purakau is about Rangi and Papa and the separation. This purakau comes from Kai Tahu. You can read along here, page 22.https://archive.org/details/ancienthistoryof01whit/page/22/mode/2upThis purakau is a continuation of one which I brought up in a previous episode, Papatuanuku was with Tangaroa, Rangi become envious, he wooed her, started living with her, Tangaroa came back, fought Rangi, maimed him, and left Papa with Rangi.
