Waipapa (canoe)

WaipapaGreat Māori migration waka

Landed at| Doubtless Bay
Settled at| Northland

In Māori tradition, Waipapa was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes that was used in the migrations that settled Northland of Aotearoa (New Zealand). The captains were Kaiwhetu and Wairere,[1] who landed the waka in Doubtless Bay.[2]

The exact landing site of the Waipapa is contested.[2] Various accounts place the landing point at Rangiaowhia, Taipa, Oruru,[2] or Karikari Peninsula.[1]

The captain asked his crew to take tawapou log rollers off the canoe, which had been carried from Hawaiki, and plant them on the slopes of a nearby hill. From the rollers grew a grove of tawapou trees that today serve as a memorial of the arrival of the canoe.[citation needed]
