<!--==Māori origins==

New Zealand was one of the last areas of the planet to be reached by humans. Polynesian voyagers are believed to have migrated to what is now New Zealand from eastern [[Polynesia]] in the latter part of the [[1st millennium]]. Māori origins therefore cannot be separated from those of their Polynesian ancestors (''for more information see '' [[Polynesian culture]]). Archaeological and linguistic evidence (see Sutton 1994 cited in References section below) suggests there were probably several waves of migration from Eastern Polynesia to New Zealand between [[800]] and [[1300]]. Māori oral history describes their arrival from [[Hawaiki]] (a mythical homeland in tropical Polynesia) by large [[ocean]]–going [[canoe]]s (''waka''). During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the idea arose that Māori had voyaged to New Zealand in the so-called 'Great Fleet of 1350AD' which claims that seven canoes arrived simultaneously. More recent research has revealed that this concept originated with European researchers including Percy Smith who attempted to cobble together various unrelated Māori legends. The spurious fleet scenario was then accepted by some Māori including [[Te Rangi Hiroa]] (Sir Peter Buck), and won general acceptance until it was debunked in the 1960s by the research of David Simmons and others. In fact ''nowhere'' in the authentic voyaging traditions is there an account of several canoes all arriving together at one place and time. Migration accounts vary among Māori tribes or [[iwi]], whose members can identify with the different waka in their genealogies or [[whakapapa]].
