Day 1: Arriving in New Zealand…
Activity 1: The First Settlers
It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia. Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’ Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.

Great job at completing this activity. Do you know of any other stories about Maui?
Fun fact: Did you know Maui used the stars, water currents, and waves to help him navigate across the great oceans!
One of my favourite stories about Maui is how he slowed down the sun. Keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
