the six brothers

A long time ago there were six brothers. Their names were Tu and Tane and Tawhirimatea and Tangaroa and Haumia and Rongo. Papa was always on Rangi and Tu wanted to kill their parents but the others did not want to. So they tried to pushed them apart but they couldn’t so Tane pushed his legs and the dad got pushed up into the sky. They were free. Tane became god of the trees and Tu was god of men and fighting. Tawhirimatea was god of wind and Tangaroa was god of the sea and Haumia was god of food. Rongo was god of peace.
