Makemake with two birdmen, carved from red scoria
Makemake (also written as Make-make; pronounced [ˈmakeˈmake] in Rapa Nui) in the Rapa Nui mythology of Easter Island is the creator of humanity, the god of fertility and the chief god of the "Tangata manu" or bird-man sect (this sect succeeded the island's more famous Moai era). He appeared to be the local form, or name, of the old Polynesian god Tane. He had no wife.
