The seven Māori canoes, or "waka," that are traditionally recognized in New Zealand's history are: Aotea, Takitimu, Te Arawa, Tainui, Ngatokimatawhaorua, Kurahaupō, and Mataatua. Each of these waka is associated with specific tribal groups and carries significant cultural and historical importance for the Māori people. They are believed to have brought the ancestors of the Māori to New Zealand from Hawaiki, their mythical homeland.

How do you say speak in Tok Pisin?

you speak maori by learning and experiencing maori life. maori people live, eat, breath and speak maori because they have learnt it over a period of years. some are raised speaking maori. To know how to speak maori is to learn from people who have experienced maori and is fluent and willing to teach you. In New Zealand laws of education, the Maori language is part of the circculam. At my school year 7 and 8 have the Tereo class complosary. the school is also enfluenced by the culture. All students have some understanding of the simple words of the Maori language.
