Auriaria

Auriaria

In the mythology of Kiribati, Auriaria is a red-skinned giant chieftain who fell in love with the beautiful red-skinned woman, Nei Tituaabine, but had no children. She died and, from her grave grew three trees--a coconut from her head, a pandanus from her heels and an almond from her navel. She became a tree goddess.
