How Maori people remember their arrival on New Zealand

CrowdScience

Available for over a year

Kiwiroa Marshall relates the legend of how seven canoes brought the Maori people to the islands of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Archaeological evidence correlates with this story, showing that the Maori were the first people to arrive on New Zealand, just 750 years ago, using highly advanced sailing canoes that could carry over 100 colonists each. This is by far the most recent settlement of any first peoples on earth. (Image: Kiwiroa Marshall, with kind permission)
