Te Kōhatuwhenua
Great Māori migration waka

In Māori tradition, Te Kōhatuwhenua was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes that was used in the migrations that settled New Zealand. Taranaki iwi Ngāti Ruanui and Ngā Rauru trace their ancestry back to Taikehu the captain of Te Kōhatuwhenua[1].
