Modern scholarship does not support the idea of a "Great Fleet" as was portrayed in earlier times. Nevertheless there certainly are legitimate 'canoe traditions' of the various tribes, and the names of the canoes include: Tainui, Te Arawa, Takitimu, Kurahaupo, Mataatua, Tokomaru, Aotea, and Ngatokomatawhaorua.

For a modern view, the article under Great Fleet in teara.govt.nz will present the current position.
