Maori Settlement of New Zealand: How Polynesians Reached Aotearoa

Maori Settlement of New Zealand: How Polynesians Reached Aotearoa

Episode 2083 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

For millions of years, the islands of New Zealand remained a pristine wilderness, untouched by human footsteps.  That changed in the 13th century when the world’s most elite mariners executed one of history’s greatest feats of navigation. 

Guided by the stars and ocean swells, the Māori arrived with a "Great Fleet" of double-hulled canoes, completing the final chapter of Polynesian migration. 

From the extinction of the giant Moa to resistance to the British, the Māori established a culture that endures to this day.
