Context: Maui is a legendary mythological figure central to the history of most Polynesian countries, like New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga and Hawaii when it was an independent nation.

He was a demigod with many amazing feats such as pulling up islands from the sea, lassoing the sun to slow down the day, bringing knowledge fire to the people, and much more. His death was also pretty wild.

One of the main Islands of Hawaii is named after Maui, and the popular Disney animated film, sequel and live action remake feature the demigod trickster, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
