Horouta
In Māori tradition, the canoe Horouta was one of the great ocean-going canoes in which Polynesians migrated to New Zealand approximately 800 years ago.
The story goes that Kahukura, a man from Hawaiki, introduced kūmara (sweet potato), to the locals who had never had anything like it before. In order to obtain more kūmara from Hawaiki, Toi gave the canoe to Kahukura. Upon gathering the coveted vegetables, Kahukura sent them back on Horouta, commanded by Pāoa (or Pāwa).
