Waka Tapu by Jeff Evans

I listened and read this article.
In a nutshell I learnt...


  • I learnt that Te Aurere and Ngahiraka Mai Tawhiti went to Rapanui.
  • I also learnt that Rapanui is near Gambier islands and Mangareva.
  • The year that the two waka sailed was in 2012 and I also know that it took ten months to make the waka.
  • Something else that I remembered it was polynesian voyagers that sailed.
  • The voyage was the dream of the master builder Hekenukumai busby.
  • The voyagers and Navigators traveled by two waka.

  3. The sun was moving too fast
  4. The sun was setting
  5. They made a rope out of flax then maui used the magic of his ancestors jawbone to make it fireproof.
  6. The illustrator gave them muscles and a jawline.
  7. I would do the same thing that maui did.
