Journey of a Waka

Journey of a Waka.

This infographic explores how the tūpuna of Māori skilfully and deliberately navigated to Aotearoa New Zealand from East Polynesia over seven hundred years ago. It highlights who was on board the voyaging waka, their roles, how they survived the voyage, how they navigated, and what they brought with them.
