Tango (mythology)
In Cook Islands mythology, Tango was the third child of the primordial mother goddess, Varima-te-takere. He was assigned to live at Enua-kura. According to Mamae, Gill's informant, Tango was the progenitor of a skilled fishing family. That the six grandsons of Tango were good workers is shown in the native text. The enclosure for fish mentioned in a chant has not been retained in the local culture of the people.
