Rangi and Papa, also known as Heaven and Earth, were the original pair of ancestors for all humans according to Maori tradition. They lived together in darkness with their six sons, including Tangaroa the father of fish and reptiles, until their sons separated them, bringing light and habitat for new life to form. This creation story is part of Maori culture and tradition in New Zealand, though some Maori also embrace modern lives today.
