Apart from travelling by foot, canoes or 'Waka' were the primary form of transport. New Zealand is a mountainous country and before European arrival was covered in dense bush which made other forms of transport unsuitable. However the extensive river systems here enable large distances to be covered by canoe. We used large double-hulled ocean-going canoes to travel enormous distances across the Pacific Ocean.
Also, before the arrival of Europeans, there were no draft animals or other native land mammals in New Zealand; apart from some small bats (pekapeka).
Mostly they traveled by foot or by canoe called: Waka
they used it for ketes, weapons, clothes and capes
Until the arrival the Europeans, Maori did not use or need to use a collective name for themselves. By the 1830's, they had come to use the word 'Maori' meaning 'normal' or 'natural' people.
