Haumia-tiketike (or simply Haumia)[a] is the god of all uncultivated vegetative food in Māori mythology. He is particularly associated with the starchy rhizome of the Pteridium esculentum,[b] which became a major element of the Māori diet in former times.[8] He contrasts with Rongo, the god of kūmara and all cultivated food plants.
In different tribal and regional variations of the stories involving him, he is often portrayed as the son or grandson of Ranginui. He is frequently associated with Arawa traditions of the world's creation, in which he agreed to and attempted the separation of Rangi from his wife Papa.
