New Zealand claimed its physical independence 80 million years ago. Its geographical location in the heart of the South Pacific has made it one of the most isolated places on earth.
It was probably around 1300 that the Polynesians, ancestors of today’s Maoris, arrived aboard their pirogues to establish themselves on these uninhabited islands that they would name Aotearoa: the land of long white clouds.
Embark with us on an epic journey through the ancestral land of the Maori.
