Vonou'a

In the legends of the Vangavaye-ve, Vonou'a was the the first man, the ancestor of the Wide Sea Islanders. He was the son of Ani, the goddess of the sea.

Vonou'a left his mother to sail in search of a wife, and found Samayë, the Dawn Wind. He brought her back home and settled on the islands that Vou'a had pulled up from the deep. They had four children together: Anyë who was the first weaver; Aho who sailed to find new islands; Pokuli who sought his heart's desire; and Samayo Ateatamai who sailed to the House of the Sun and traded his name for the first fire.
