Nei Tituaabine
In
Polynesian mythology (specifically:
Gilbert Islands),
Nei Tituaabine is a red-skinned maiden who fell in love with the giant red-skinned chief,
Auriaria, 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.
