Maui - The time shifter

A demigod is the brother of Madam Pele. Maui is said to have lassoed the sun in order to slow it down and make the days longer on the island of Maui

his ropes around the sun are said to represent "rays".

I always wondered about the lack of tiki love for Maui - although as he is the only tiki god with an island named after him, maybe it balances it out. He has the name recognition and Ku and Lono have the carvings.
