Early NZ Exploration

Kupe and Cook are two important explorers in NZ's History.

Kupe arrrived in NZ in 1100's. He travelled by traditional methods on a traditional sail boat. Myth has it Kupe followed a giant octopus. He did voyage to find new land for his people to live. His wife named NZ Aotearoa after seeing mountains under the clouds.

Cook arrived in New Zealand in 1768. He travelled by a boat called Endeavour. This boat got heaps of storage to put food and accesories and this boat has a cannon. Cook was stabbed by the natives on the Hawaiian island because the natives of Hawaii think that he was great god then they ate him to be like him but they didn't.

Kupe is important because he was the first documented person in NZ.
Cook is important because he mapped NZ and open it up to the world to access.
