(Redirected from Marikoriko)

In a Māori legend attributed by ethnographer John White to the Ngāti Hau tribe[citation needed], Mārikoriko (Twilight) is the first woman, created by Ārohirohi (Shimmering heat) from the heat of the sun and the echoing cliff.[1] She married Tiki, the first man, and gave birth to Hine-kau-ataata (Woman floating in shadows).
