Throughout Polynesia Maui gets his mana from Hina. In Hawaiian culture Hina is often portrayed as his grandmother for giving him her (as a mo'o) jawbone for hooking the shark laying upon the island (continent) allowing it to rise as his brothers paddle.

Also these people are our honoured ancestor till the missionary invade and demonize our ancestor as god and demi-god. Our ancestor are listed in the only creation story to assist the human genome researchers.

In some instances ultimately denationalization which is a war crime that Austrians and German were hung for.
