Summary: Māori first arrived on the shores of Aotearoa New Zealand over 700 years ago (estimates range from 1250 to 1300 AD). They travelled by waka (canoe) from east Polynesia, and landed at various points along the New Zealand coast. The arrival of European settlers in the 1800s had a huge impact on Māori and their way of life. This entry will show you where to find information about Māori history, from when they first arrived until today.
