Early NZ Exploration

Kupe and Cook are two important explorers in the New Zealands history.

Kupe had found Aotearoa around the eleven hundreds (1100).  Kupe's voyage to Aotearoa was triggered by the lack of sea life.  Kupe traveled from Hawaiki to the south where he found Aotearoa.
The cause of sea life disappearance was due to a giant octopus that kupe followed
(in hope of fighting it.)  Kupe and his people (TRIBE) were very talented.
Kupe came to land by a poti naming the land Aotearoa in the maori meaning; Land of the long white cloud.

 Cook came to New Zealand in 1769 (6th of October)
Captain cook and his voyage to New Zealand in search  for the unknown southern island.
