Hawaiki is the legendary homeland or place of origin of the Maori people of New Zealand. There are many different opinions on what and where it is. Some people believe that it is a mythical place, others think it was the starting point for the migratory canoes (an actual place in the pacific such as Tahiti), Some think it is a place in Asia from where people spread out (not only through south East Asia, Melanesia and the Pacific but also across the Bering land bridge into the Americas) and some people see it as an afterworld that we go to when we die.
