Io Matua Kore
Io Matua Kore (Māori for "Io the Parentless who was always existent without beginning or end") is in some Māori traditions the supreme god.The Io tradition was restricted to only the highest ("priest" or "expert", the Māori equivalent of the Hawaiian "Kahuna"). According to Nga Puhi reverend Māori Marsden who received the Io tradition from his grandfather, Io is:"both Being-itself and absolute Nothingness. That is, He is truly infinite, encompassing within himself both the absolutely Positive and absolutely Negative."
