Tagaloa
In Samoan mythology, Tagaloa (also known as Tagaloa-lagi or Tagaloa of the Heavens/Skies) is generally accepted as the supreme ruler, the creator of the universe, the chief of all gods and the progenitor of other gods and humans. Tagaloa dwelt in space and made the Heavens ("lagi"), the sky, the land, the seas, the fresh water, the trees and the people. Samoans believed Tagaloa created nine heavens ("lagi tua iva"). After Tagaloa made the islands, the humans developed from worms.

The arrival of missionaries and Christianity in Samoa from 1830 saw the Samoan "atua" gods like Tagaloa replaced by the Christian deity.
