Auriaria

In the mythology of Kiribati, Auriaria is a red-haired giant chieftain^{[citation needed]} and demigod from Samoa.^[1]

According to legend, Auriaria fell in love with the beautiful red-haired woman, Nei Tituaabine, but had no children. She died, and from her grave grew three trees: a coconut from her head, a pandanus from her heels and an almond from her navel. She became a tree goddess.^{[citation needed]}
