Makaro and Kupe was married to a lady called Hine-te-Aparangi. She
named the Island Aotearoa and in english it means Land of the Long
White Clouds and kupe had a dog .  Dogs are very good hunters. They
hunt birds like kiwi,Tui,Kereru,Pukeko but dogs can be eaten by thier owners
when they are hungry. Kupe came from Polinisia and sailed from there.
He sailed to different islands and he found New Zealand after Christ and other
Islands too. When Kupe was travelling, he fought a giant Wheke that
was in the sea . Did you know that Wheke  means octopus and kuri means
dog in te reo Maori. Some people think that Kupe lived in Tauranga and he
left a mark on a stone on a marae in Tauranga.
