Maori Mythology
An App of a collection of myths of Māori traditions of New Zealand.
Māori mythology and Māori traditions are the two major categories into which the legends of the Māori of New Zealand may usefully be divided. The rituals, beliefs, and the world view of Māori society were ultimately based on an elaborate mythology that had been inherited from a Polynesian homeland and adapted and developed in the new setting."Every Māori social group had its own body of traditional belief which validated its claims to the territory it occupied, gave authority to those of high rank, and justified the groups external relationships with other groups. These purposes were served because the members of the groups concerned believed that the traditions were true records of past events, and they acted accordingly. Alliances between groups were facilitated if it was believed that they shared a common heritage, and the commoners respect for and fear of his chief were based, in part at least, on his belief in the semi-divine ancestry of those of high rank".Improvements and stability

The stories could be written with more emotion, with emotive language and creative storytelling. A good story is one that makes you feel and takes you on a journey.
It was good needs more thought
Okay, but should have local legends like Hinemoa and Tutanekai in Rotorua (including relevance to street names), the story of the North Island, Tane Mahuta etc
Nice.. but somewhat short narrative..
