The First Waka

Originally there were no people in New Zealand. The first people to settle in New Zealand come in a series of waka.

The fist ten waka were named kurahaupo, Takitimu, Mataatua, Taniui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta, Uruao, Arai-te-uru.

Most of the waka visited the North island. Some of the places were Rotorua, Tamaki River and Turanganui.

The ten waka came to New Zealand to discover new land for people to live.

LI: to learn about early exploration.
