In different regional and tribal variations of the stories involving him, he is often a son or grandson of Rangi (Raki) and/or Papa. Separation of the primordial parentsIn the Arawa version of the origin story, Haumia was a son of Rangi and Papa, and agreed to the forced separation of his parents. Because of this he was subjected to the fury of his brother Tāwhirimātea, god of winds and storms, who would have killed him if their mother had not hidden him in her body, that is, in the ground. While he escaped from Tāwhirimātea, he was later discovered by Tū, god of war (here representing humankind), who saw Haumia's hair (bracken fronds) sticking up out of the earth[2] (Grey 1956:7-10, Orbell 1998:29, Tregear 1891:54). Bracken{{Main article|Pteridium esculentum}}Food-quality rhizomes were only obtained from bracken growing in deep, moderately fertile soils. Bracken became abundant after the arrival of Māori, "mainly a result of burning to create open landscapes for access and ease of travel" (McGlone et al., 2005:1). Rhizomes were dug in early summer and dried for use in the winter. Although it was not liked as much as kumara, it was appreciated for its ready availability and the ease with which it could be stored (Orbell 1998:29). The rhizomes were air-dried so that they could be stored and become lighter; for consumption, they were briefly heated and then softened with a patu aruhe (rhizome pounder); the starch could then be sucked from the fibres, or collected to be prepared for a larger feast. Several distinct styles of Patu aruhe were developed. The plants of the bracken genus (Pteridium) contain the known carcinogen ptaquiloside,[4] identified to be responsible for haemorrhagic disease, as well as esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer in humans.
