introduction

Hoturoa was born in hawaiki the son of auauterangi and kuotepo, and was

Distantly according to maori tradition Hoturoa was middle aged when he made his voyage to aotearoa (new zealand).In hawaiki her kept his whanau

(family) safe away from tribal warfare.

Push 1

One of Hoturoa’s friends decided to leave hawaiki.so Hoturoa

Decided to leave and follow suit as they were entering the boat Hoturoa

Was praying and saying his goodbyes to the island.Hoturoa felt very upset when he left but he had no choice to leave or else he would be still in the tribal warfare.

Push 2

My discussion about this push factor.Hoturoas whanau(family) were in danger.so Hoturoa left from the island cause of the tribal warfare.so hoturoa jumped on his

Boat and sailed to Whangaparaoa near Cape runaway. From there Tainui explored the coast northwards and sailed into Waitemata (Auckland harbour).

Pull 1

My discussion about this pull factor.Hoturoa decided to travel here at aotearoa (new zealand) to taste all the

Yummy food and all the tuna. and to have a good meal for their whanau (family).

Pull 2

Hoturoa came here because the polynesians were overfishing.

So he decided to come to aotearoa (new zealand).when the got here to new zealand he said to himself “this would be a good land for us”.marama his wife said this good whenua (land) for us and Hoturoa nodded yes it is.

Discussion push factor

If i was in that situation where i would have to leave my family

And everything behind i would feel very upset because that's basically leaving your lollies.but Hoturoa had no choice to leave because the tribal warfare between the tainui and the polynesians.in Hoturoa’s mind he thought that aotearoa (new zealand) would be great for him and his whanau.so he decided to voyage all the way to here.

Discussion pull factor

A beautiful untouched land that is free to use. I would voyage all the way

To New Zealand and see the lovely plants and the lovely breeze.so Hoturoa decided to tell Marama that they were leaving and she was shocked.

Conclusion

Hoturoa had two wives, Whakaoterangi and Marama, both of whom figure largely in the Tainui legend. The former is credited with beginning the cultivation of kumara in the new land.

Tainui tribes later spread over the area from the Mokau River to Manukau Harbour on the west coast and included the Waikato and King Country. Their boundary runs through Maungatautari (near Cambridge) to the Thames Valley and Coromandel Peninsula.
