About Hinetitama

Hine-nui-te-po crushed Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga to death between her legs

Hinetitama is one of eight works in the Wahine toa series which celebrates the essential female element in Te Ao Māori. Hinetitama is dawn, the first true human. She was the daughter of Tane and Hine-ahu-one who bound earthly night to earthly day. She became Hine-nui-te-po, the Goddess of Death, after discovering that Tane was not only her husband, but also her father.
