Arawa (canoe)
''Arawa'' was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes in Māori traditions that was used in the migrations that settled New Zealand.

Arawa, Papua New Guinea
Arawa is the largest town and the former capital of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. It is administered under Arawa Rural LLG.
