Short description: God of the light and gentle breeze
Fisaga in Samoan mythology is a light and the gentle breeze. In one Samoan legend, Tiʻitiʻi imprisons the winds one by one in his canoe or calabash, leaving only Fisaga free.[1][2] Other versions of the story attribute this to Maui.[3]
In the Samoan language, fisaga refers to a “gentle, pleasant wind associated with good weather.”[4]
