Description
This was the god of the vast wind. The gods of the winds were consulted before voyaging, either directly or through the priests. These gods were directly interested in the control of the sea. They were appealed to in sickness, for the curing of which their reputation was high. Ngaliyeyeu was the god who reintroduced fire to the pukapukans after the seismic wave by giving it to his priest Te Ule.
