In Polynesian mythology, Tahiti pearls are the first light given by the creator to Tane, the god of harmony and beauty. Tane used these light spots to illuminate the cellar of the Heavenly Palace, and their shapes and light also inspired him to create stars. Then, Tan En took the light to see Lua Hatu, the sea god, and asked him to light the sea. Oro, the patron saint of war and peace who works for Tann, gave these pearls to the mortal woman he chose to reproduce for him as a promise. After completing his earthly mission, he gave the pearl oyster "Teufi" to mortals to commemorate his arrival. Since then, the pearl oyster "Te ufi, Pinctada margaritifera" belonging to the Delta has flourished in the lagoon of French Polynesia.
