Summer Learning Journey Bonus Activity - The First Settlers

People in Aotearoa/New Zealand still use waka but don't use them to transport from country to country instead they use them for special Maori events and sporting cometitions like Waka Ama. but both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat racing.



  1. Hi Viva,
    Good information here about Waka Ama racing. However I would like you to read the activity carefully. This activity is asking if you would like to participate on the race and the reasons why?
    In order for you to gain full points for this task it's important that you answer the activity completely.

    Kia Kaha,

  2. Hi Vivanisi,
    Why do you think they don't use waka as transport anymore? I think that it is because the traditional waka wouldn't be as fast as a plane, even with good weather.

    Keep it up
