Originally, there were no people in New Zealand (Aotearoa). The first people who came to New Zealand arrived in a series of waka.
The first ten waka to arrive were: Kurahaupō, Tākitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta, Uruao, Ārai-te-uru. These waka all landed in different places in New Zealand.
All of these waka were strong in different areas. For example: Mataatua was identified as one of the greatest traditional boats used to migrate towards New Zealand.

The objective of this activity was to build an understanding of where the first ten waka of Aotearoa journeyed to.
