The similarity between the two myths that these passages illustrate is that:

Both cultures thought nature was important.

The Maori creation myth tells the story how humans were born and how nature helped in their birth by sacrificing themselves. According to this creation myth, the earth and heaven were once joined as Ranhinui.   Papatuanuku was the sky father and the mother Ranhinui was the Earth and they had many children. The children lived in the darkness and wanted to live in the light. The children separated the parents in order to live in the light. The parents continue to grieve for each other until the present day.

The Haida creation myth is about a trickster named Raven who stole the sun, the moon and the stars in order to bring light to his created world. He created animals, fish, trees, men, and all the creatures but they lived in darkness because of which he stole light.
