In most Polynesian creation myths the first beings, human or divine, are a male trinity, but in the mythology of Fenua Enana (Marquisas Islands) and Hawaii they are preceded by a female divinity, who is responsible for their emergence.

 Indonesia Mythology - Summary
When from the whole mass of the mythology of the Archipelago we have eliminated everything that may with any show of probability be regarded as due either to Indian or Islamic contact, direct or indirect, there still remains a large body of material which must be regarded as native.
Our knowledge of the peoples of south-eastern Asia which have been uninfluenced either by Indian or by Chinese culture is thus far very meagre, and material on their mythology is almost wholly lacking.
In how far other mythic elements in the Archipelago are to be traced to this Buddhist period must be determined by those more familiar than the writer with early Indian literature.
