The Maori canoe from the Great Fleet that sailed up the Tamaki Estuary is believed to be the canoe called Tainui. Tainui is considered one of the seven waka (canoes) that journeyed to New Zealand from Hawaiki.
The Tainui waka was named after an infant who did not survive childbirth. At the burial site of this child, at a place in Hawaiki known then as Maungaroa, a great tree grew; this was the tree that was used to build the ocean canoe.
Aotea, Arawa, and Tainui are waka (canoes) that carried the ancestors of the Māori people to New Zealand. They are significant in Māori mythology and history, representing the different tribal groups that settled in different parts of the country.
The first of the New Zealand Wars, the Northern War, started on March 11, 1845 when warriors under Nga Puhi leaders Hone Heke and Kawiti seized the British settlement of Kororareka. The war lasted until a peace agreement in January 1846.
