Kaitangata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • In the Māori language, Kaitangata means human food - kai being food and tangata being human, or people. Kaitangata has sometimes been used to mean cannibal.
  • In Māori tradition, Kaitangata is a son of Rehua who fell to Earth, his blood staining the sky red. This is the origin of the fantastic colors seen at sunset.
