Answer 2

unhappiness about darkness

one or more children

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the Maori myth and the Haida myth have some differences that promote the individuality and worldview of each of these two peoples, we cannot help but notice similarities between the myths, which revealed common concepts between the two cultures.

One of the most punctual similarities is unhappiness with darkness, which is portrayed as something bad, insecure and uncomfortable. With that we can say that the Maori and Haida peoples did not like the dark periods, due to the unpredictability and the dangers they contained.

The myths also present the presence of one more children, showing the importance that these peoples gave to the generation of more members for their tribes.
