Te Aratāwhao
Te Aratāwhao was a Māori waka constructed by early Māori settlers in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. The craft was purpose-built to supply kumara from Hawaiki to New Zealand. Captained by Tama-ki-hikurangi, "Te Aratāwhao" withstood the journey from Whakatane to Hawaiki. However, "Te Aratāwhao" and her captain remained in Hawaiki, while the crew returned to New Zealand with the supplies in another canoe, the "Mataatua".
