Araiteuru - Ngā utanga o te waka
Te Aho Ngārahu
He waka Hourua a Araiteuru me Mānuka: he waka ka tere i te moana nui, te moana tāpokopoko ēnei waka. He waka atua te waka o Araiteuru, he wāhi nui tōna i roto i ngā kōrero taketake o ngā iwi o Te Waipounamu. Nā Araiteuru te kumara i kawe mai, ā i ahu mai ngā tūtohu whenua maha i a ia.
Ngā utanga o te waka
This is the story of the waka Araiteuru and the role it played in introducing kūmara and taro to Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu. Led by navigator Hipo, Araiteuru voyaged to Hawaiki and back and successfully planted crops at various locations. However, the waka faced disaster during a treacherous storm near the Waitaki River. The crew lost precious cargo which washed ashore at Koekohe Beach, Kātiki Beach and Whatapāraerae. Despite these challenges, Araiteuru’s legacy endures and its upturned hull is still visible at Matakaea.
