In "the maori: genealogies and origins in new zealand,” which evidence best the reader infer that the maori people live in a difficult climate? our relationship with enkai is essential to the tribe. enkai is neither male nor female. the sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior. sometimes enkai is enkai narok, the black god, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains. when angry, though, enkai becomes enkai nonyokie—the red god. in these times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up and becomes barren. because of this, we work to keep enkai happy.
