| Great Māori migration waka |
In Māori tradition, Moekākara was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes that was used in the migrations that settled New Zealand. It was captained by Tāhuhunui-o-te-rangi, the ancestor of Ngāi Tāhuhu.[1] The canoe first landed at Te Arai north of Auckland.[2] Ngāi Tāhuhu settled at Pouerua in the Bay of Islands and the Mangakahia River in Northland, as well as Ōtāhuhu (on Mount Richmond) in Auckland.[1]
