KAITANGATA
Maori Sky God
Also known as Kai Tangata
The Sunset Kid
He’s a deity of the sky. Particularly the evening sky.
The son of Rehua, one day he slipped and fell down the Heavenly Stairway. The accident was a bit messy and his blood spilled all over the sky.
So whenever you see a glorious red sunset, that’s him.
There is also a different God called Kaitangata among the Maori who we haven’t quite investigated yet. Hopefully he is less accident-prone.
