Based on these excerpts, how do the haida and maori cultures view the mother-child relationship?

The Haida and Maori cultures view the mother-child relationship as:

Both view mothers as caring and protective over their children.  

The Haida myth focuses on creating light and people. The Haida creation myth is about a trickster who stole the sun, the moon and the stars in order to bring light to his own world. Even though he created animals, fish, trees, men, and all the creatures, they lived in darkness because he stole light.  

On the other hand, the Maori myth focuses mostly on the relationship between parts of nature. The Maori creation myth tells the story how humans were born and how nature helped in their birth by sacrificing themselves.

Hope it helps.
