Raka-maomao
Māori god of wind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raka-maomao or Rakamaomao, in Māori mythology, is a god of wind. He is the god of ordinary winds, in contrast to Tāwhirimātea, who is the god of tempests.[1] To the Waitaha tribe of the South Island, Rakamaomao was the group of winds that blew from the south and north.[2]
Raka-maomao is equivalent to Ra‘a (Society Islands), Raka (Cook Islands), La'a Maomao (Hawaii)[3] and Fa'atiu (Samoa).
