  • In the Māori mythology of some tribes, Kupe (10th century) was involved in the Polynesian discovery of New Zealand.Contention[edit]
    There is contention concerning the status of Kupe. The contention turns on the authenticity of later versions of the legends, the so-called 'orthodox' versions closely associated with S. Percy Smith and Hoani Te Whatahoro Jury. Unlike the attested tribal traditions about Kupe recorded before Smith and Jury, the orthodox version is precise in terms of dates and in offering placenames in Polynesia where Kupe is supposed to have lived or departed from. The orthodox version also places Kupe hundreds of years before the arrival of the other founding canoes, whereas in the earlier traditions, Kupe is most definitely contemporary with those canoes (Simmons 1976). In addition, according to legends of the Whanganui and Taranaki regions Kupe was a contemporary of Turi of the Aotea canoe. In other traditions, Kupe arrived around the year 1400 on other canoes, including Tainui and Tākitimu (Simmons 1976:20-25).
    Stephenson Percy Smith, 1905[1]
    The orthodox version[edit]
    In the "orthodox" version, Kupe was a great chief of Hawaiki who arrived in New Zealand in 925 AD. He left his cousin Hoturapa to drown during a fishing expedition and kidnapped his wife, Kuramarotini, with whom he fled in her great canoe Matawhourua. During their subsequent journeys, they overcame numerous monsters and sea demons, including the great octopus named as Te Wheke-a-Muturangi, and discovered New Zealand. Returning to Hawaiki, Kupe told of his adventures and convinced others to migrate with him (Craig 1989:127; see also External links below).
    David Simmons said "A search for the sources of what I now call 'The Great New Zealand Myth' of Kupe, Toi and the Fleet, had surprising results. In this form they did not exist in the old manuscripts nor in the whaikorero[2] of learned men. Bits and pieces there were. Kupe was and is known, in the traditions of the Hokianga, Waikato, East Coast and South Island: but the genealogies given did not tally with those given by S. Percy Smith. The stories given by Smith were a mixture of differing tribal tradition. In other words the whole tradition as given by Smith was pakeha, not Maori. Similarly, the story of Toi and Whatonga and the canoe race leading to settlement in New Zealand could not be authenticated except from the one man who gave it to Percy Smith. Learned men of the same tribe make no mention of this story and there are no waiata[3] celebrating their deeds. Tribal origin canoes are well known to the tribes belonging to them: but none of them talk as Smith did of six large sea-going canoes setting out together from Raiatea. The Great New Zealand Myth was just that". (Simmons 1977).

    People don't even know about lumeria (Hawaiki/Hawaii) It was the tallest mountain on earth (Hawaikinui) until the underground volcanic channels burst and had sunken the main land... Hawaii then had less land mass so our original ancestors travelled and settled around the pacific and other places. That movement then created different Polynesian caultures etc... Ego/human nature creates division between us, people forget, in spirit we are all the same souls having a human experience... it's funny watching us fight , the lessons will be learnt in time ... Aroha Mai whanau 😇

    I remember a docco that stated star navigation actually came from the Asian Steppes, people from there migrated south along the asian coast and then out into the pacific, mixing with the peoples already there and bringing that tech to them. This enabled them to travel over the horizon to places like Hawaii and Easter Island....and Aotearoa. The same docco said that the Maori remained in communication with their home for about 400 years and then simply stopped building ocean going waka and were cut off, and started building massive coastal/river war waka instead (similar size to the Indonesian Moluccas...hundreds of warriors per boat/canoe).

    in new zealand maori we acknowledge that everything has a spirit and a link to a god from which everything is born. each has its own place in the universe and governs its own laws to keep the balance in nature. we maori as kaitiaki today also have a responsibility to pass on knowledge of karakia to the younger generation to keep them safe from the spirits and taniwha that are guarding tapu sites.

    • Kupe one of our fathers, teacher, who taught maori astrology , ship building , star compass for navigation, hes the frist entity to navigate the star system ,he come from hawaiki , Hawaiki is not a country or a continent ,its a spiritual Realm, in european or biblical Terms, its Like heaven , Maori have lived in New Zealand since the beginning ,the proof is in the maori (waka)boats that were built, and the materials used to create the first seafaring vessels(waka) carved from a New Zealand's native tree ,the sails (te ra)woven of Flaxs (harakeke) the art of weaving was gift ,taught to maori by the (patupaiarehe)who also show maori kites ,fishing nets,agriculture and many more teachings were pass down from supernatural entity's(patupaiarehe). European have made up their own history ,about maori ,arrived in New Zealand's, 700, to 1000 years, which is a lie, Our (whakapapa) is proof of heritage, even the teachings of how the universe begins, these are keys to unlock creation its self. and its all starts with( te kore )or also known as the perantless one (te po) the darkness

    i think with all civilisations we have our own myths and legends of gods of each element. also we have evidence of fairys and giants. also we all should have encountered several ancient civilisations that left evidence of thier visit. and also have some oral history of being visited from aliens from outer space. and we maori from new zealand have all this. im sure also that we had the knowledge of every other civilisation on earth. and we settled this country for its uniqe geographical position that would allow us to be undisturbed for so long.

      Yes the original place of creation started in Aotearoa, the first ancestors had children who then ventured around the world and taught there teaching, the first mountains, trees, birds etc had kids which are mountains, and trees around the world etc. The 12 heavens are stages of creation etc.
