Based on the passage given above, it can be inferred that there had been an extreme flood and scarcity of food too in Tahiti. The survival of the two people became the rebirth of a new generation. The passage also mentions about the increasing flood that pushes the couple higher up in order to survive. The land did not produce anything, which is a case of a famine. Then there is also the angry resolve of the Supreme God dragging the earth through the sea. But there is no direct reference about the Tahitians fearing the Supreme God.
