The Maori feel in control of their land.

Explanation:

The myth of the creation of the Maori people in the book "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand" reveals just how these people came to be. Their creation or rather, their evolvement into the human beings they are now is told in this myth.

As given in the excerpt, the importance of the land and their sense of control over it is quite evident in the passage. Especially, when Tû ate his brothers to punish them, he appeared to be the strongest of them all. And his generations who later became the Maori tribe of New Zealand also felt the same sense of strength and ability to overcome others. And the description of these people as "humans who are able to master anything that they decide to conquer: the forest, the sea, the food, and the earth" seems to suggest or support that they feel in control of their land.
