Aotearoa
Great Māori migration waka

In Māori tradition, Aotearoa was one of the great ocean-voyaging canoes that were used in the migrations that settled New Zealand. Aotearoa was captained by Mokotōrea[1] or Mokoterea.[2] It landed at Aotea on the Tasman Sea coast of the Waikato and was buried there.[2]
