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.
Rangitoto is Māori for 'Bloody Sky', with the name coming from the full phrase Ngā Rangi-i-totongia-a Tama-te-kapua('The days of the bleeding of Tama-te-kapua'). Tama-te-kapua was the captain of the Arawa waka (canoe) and was badly wounded on the island, at a (lost) battle with the Tainui iwi(tribe) at Islington Bay
The mythical original homeland of the Maori is most commonly known as Hawaiiki but its exact location remains unknown. The ancestors of the Maori were Polynesian and discovered and settled New Zealand (Aotearoa) as part of a process of exploration and settlement that saw them spread throughout the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south. One Tipuna waka was Tainui Led by Hoturoa and the Kaihautu (captain) another was Te Arawa Led by Ngatoroirangi and kaihautu by Tamatekapua
Ko (name your waka, i.e Aotea) toku waka means "Aotea is my waka". It is a part of a pepeha....In Maori tikanga, when you go through your whakawhanaungatanga (meet n greet), in a nut shell you tell people not only your name, but your parents names, your tribe (iwi), sub tribe (hapu), the canoe that your ancestors arrived on (waka), etc.

The most well-known of the legendary ocean-going canoes (wakanui) were Aotea, Te Arawa, Kurahaupo, Mataatua, Tainui, Takitimu, and Tokomaru. There were other canoes as well, named in other traditional tales.
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.
According to Maori native myths and legends, when the native Maori people arrived in New Zealand, they arrived in seven great Waka, or giant canoes, no-one knows where they originally came from, but all sensible answers point toward the pacific islands. When the Waka landed around the coast, they created the first seven tribes, and the Maori people started from that.
