Māori God Tangaroa Poster

In Social Studies, we have moved onto the Treaty of Waitangi unit. We have begun this unit by looked into Māori gods, I chose to look into the god of the sea, Tangaroa. Tangaroa is the Māori god of the sea, and one of the many children who attempted in breaking his parents --Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother and Ranginui, the Sky Father -- apart.  

Part of the objective of this small project is to help understand how different cultures and religions can relate to each other. This is shown with one of the most common examples, Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman gods. These gods were greatly similar as most of the Ancient Roman gods were based on the Greek ones. An example of this would be the god, Poseidon (who happens to correspond with Tangaroa) and Neptune, the Roman counterpart. Both were gods of the Sea.
