Hi in regards to your reply to the Q. "Where do Maori come from" is not Hawaii! We believe of our ancient homeland to be Hawaiki but it is of a spiritual nature (where we return to when we die). Maori originated from South East Asia, through the islands and into the south pacific. If you wish to read more on the origins of Maori then you can check out this web site

You will hear maori speak on the marae where they come from and this is what they say..
"Hawaiki Nui, Hawaiki Roa, Hawaiki Pamamoa" - Big Long Hawaiki at a great distance from NZ
"I te tawihiti nui, te tawhiti roa, te tawhiti Panamaho"- in the great distance in the East where Panamaho- "Panama" is
"I te hononga o nga wai e rua" - where the two waters meet
My whakapapa teaches me we came from the ancient American continent- Our cousins are the North American Indians- Peru- is a name we have for potatoe, also found in South America, kumara is found there as well..
I don't doubt other migrations coming from other areas- but primarily our ancestors came from the east- descending down through the islands- and finally coming to the last place on the earth to be discovered- Aotearoa...
