Waitiri
In
Polynesian mythology,
Waitiri is a goddess who married a human,
Kai Tangata and had a son with him,
Hema. She left Kai Tangata and returned to heaven as a
cloud because he had offended her. Before she left, she taught Kai Tangata the arts of fishing.
Later, she gave her grandson, Tawhaki, a vine that eventually took him to heaven.
