Waipuna-ā-Rangi

Waipuna-ā-Rangi

Waipunarangi accompanies her grandmother to the waters – the oceans, lakes and rivers – where she prepares the Children of Tangaroa to feed the people.

 

Papatūānuku also teaches her about the water that spills down from Ranginui collects together to provide drinking water for the people,animals, and plants. 

She also watches how the water is evaporated by the heat of Tama-nui-te-rā into the clouds that cloak Ranginui, so that may rain once again. 

Waipunarangi knows that if you give to others, all that kindness will come right back to you, and it is this lesson that she shares with us.
