The best resource for that sort of question is Google:

   http://www.google.com/

When asked about "Polynesian mythology":

   http://www.google.com/search?q=polynesian%20mythology

It'll turn up things like:

   http://www.pantheon.org/areas/mythology/oceania/polynesian/
   http://www.blackmask.com/books27c/polynesianmyth.htm
   http://www.janeresture.com/polynesia_myths/
   http://dmoz.org/Arts/Literature/Myths_and_Folktales/Myths/Oceanic/

and so on.

Enjoy!
