Aho Wahine: Papatūānuku is an interpretation of an aspect of the Māori creation story told from the point of view of Papatūānuku the Earth Mother.
The App uses synchronised narration in te reo Māori and English, original illustrations, and authentic traditional music to tell Papatūānuku's story. It describes how she and her husband Ranginui, the Sky Father, were eventually separated by their son Tāne Mahuta and his brothers, so that they could live with light and space to reach their full potential.
