Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi
In Māori tradition, ''Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi'' (also known as ''Māhuhu'') was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes that was used in the migrations that settled New Zealand. According to Māori traditions, the waka ''Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi'' explored the upper reaches of the North Island north of the Kaipara Harbour during early Māori settlement of New Zealand. Its crew explored Whangaroa, Tākou and Whangaruru. They continued south before returning to Pārengarenga and sailing down the west coast. On the west coast there are two narratives of the captaincy of ''Māhuhu''. Te Roroa people of the Waipoua forest say the ''Māhuhu'' canoe was captained by Whakatau and called at Kawerua on the west coast of the North Island where Whakatau's son married a local. The alternative narrative, told by the Te Uri-o-Hau and Te Taoū (from the Ngāti Whātua tribe of Helensville and Auckland) has ''Māhuhu'' under the command of Rongomai and stopping not at Kawerua but Tā ...

Treaty Of Waitangi
The Treaty of Waitangi ( mi, Te Tiriti o Waitangi) is a document of central importance to the history, to the political constitution of the state, and to the national mythos of New Zealand. It has played a major role in the treatment of the Māori population in New Zealand, by successive governments and the wider population, a role that has been especially prominent from the late 20th century. The treaty document is an agreement, not a treaty as recognised in international law and it has no independent legal status, being legally effective only to the extent it is recognised in various statutes. It was first signed on 6 February 1840 by Captain William Hobson as consul for the British Crown and by Māori chiefs () from the North Island of New Zealand. The treaty was written at a time when the New Zealand Company, acting on behalf of large numbers of settlers and would-be settlers, were establishing a colony in New Zealand, and when some Māori leaders had petitioned the B ...
