These offspring fell to Papa, and were warmly received by the earth, their new home

Explanation:

  • Like other tribes, the Maori have myths regarding earth creation and man creation. These groups are the ancient groups of New Zealand.
  • In the start, the world between Papatuanuku (Papa) - the earth mother, and Ranginui, the sky father was dark and cramped. Their children were compelled  to take action to survive and Papa and Rangi were forced apart; Papa became the earth and rangi the sky, thus, creating the world that we know today
  • The world between Rangi and Papa became filled with light. The siblings were delighted and shocked that they parents  had produced several children in the night — the first human beings!
  • "These offspring (children) fell to Papa (earth), and were warmly weclomed by the  Papa earth, their new home."
