About Atua
Learn more about the host city, Atua.
Atua are the gods and spirits of the Polynesian people such as the Māori or the Hawaiians. The literal meaning of the Polynesian word is "power" or "strength" and so the concept is similar to that of mana. Many of the atua that are known have originated from myths and legends of each Polynesian culture before Christianity was introduced. These days, the word atua is related to the monotheistic conception of God. However for Polynesian cultures, as opposed to having only one superior god, there are multiple atua.
