Tala is Moana's grandmother and the mother of Motunui's village leader Tui. Like her granddaughter, she has a love for sea exploration, having come from an ancestry of South Pacific navigators. Unlike the other villagers, Tala has not forgotten her roots (or chose to ignore them, as in Tui's case).
To honor the moon, Greeks built temples dedicated to Diana, or Artemis, as she was known to the ancient Greeks. For the Celts, Morgana was the Moon goddess. The Mayan Moon goddess was the patroness of pregnant women. In aboriginal cultures, Grandmother Moon is seen holding her generous, round bowl. In Japan they do it differently -- the moon was associated with the male god, Susanowo, brother of the Amateratsu, the goddess associated with the sun.
