According to Maori native myths and legends, when the native Maori people arrived in New Zealand, they arrived in seven great Waka, or giant canoes, no-one knows where they originally came from, but all sensible answers point toward the pacific islands. When the Waka landed around the coast, they created the first seven tribes, and the Maori people started from that.
