The Whakapapa of Waka Ama in Te Whitianga-a-Kupe by Mike Benett and Natalie Jones - Coromind Issue 29, 2025

from Coromind · host Coromind

Kupe, the legendary Polynesian explorer, journeyed from the Pacific to Aotearoa on the Matawhaorua, a great double-hulled waka. According to tradition, Kupe was ‘chasing a wheke’ – a giant octopus – which metaphorically describes how he and his crew navigated the vast Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (Pacific Ocean) using the many different currents. www.coromind.nz
