Kia ora Kolidra .

Kane , Tane here in NZ , is the Guardian (god) of the Forests .

Ku-kaili-moku , or Tu-mata-uenga in NZ , is the Guardian of War .

I would hazard a guess , that the depiction depends on the particular portfolio that you want to portray . And they seem each have a few each :lol:

In the heart of my soul , I would that I had been born in Celtic lands

but I was born here , a Celt in Maori land , and my heart is content
