First Waka

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

The first ten waka were named Kurahaupo, Takitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta,Uruao and Arai-te-uru.

 Most of the waka visted the North Island. Some of the places the waka landed at were Takapau Kura (Tom Bowling Bay) and Takou Bay.

The ten waka came to New Zealand to discover new lands for people to live.
LI: to learn about early exploration.
