All those first settlers were descended from Polynesian tribes and came from a land 3,500 miles away called Hawaiiki.
The Polynesian tribes all usually had their own names until Sir Arthur Grey, a British sailor, then gave them all the name maori which means “as an adjective, normal, usual ordinary, native to the place, as opposed to what is strange and foreign”.
As ”overpopulation, shortage of food and all those familiar problems” emerged in Hawaiiki about 1350 AD, the decision was made to emigrate to what Kupe called Aotearoa.

Maui's brothers, seeing the size of the fish, became jealous and laid into it with their meres and axes and stuff, thus conveniently terraforming it into a fairly rugged bit of heavily forested fish (or land, as geologists prefer to call it).
A bit after that, in a huge migration from Hawaiiki (probably no relation), the Maori people arrived in this new land of Aotearoa, The Land of The Long White Cloud.
The Maoris, overwhelmed by the European's staggering generosity, occasionally went berko and killed some settlers, but to no avail.

 Maori Mythology of Aotearoa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In the movie, Paikea, named after her ancestor who rode a whale from Hawaiiki to Aotearoa, is a young girl whose birth is surrounded in tragedy: her twin brother and her mother both die during childbirth, which leads her father to leave the country to avoid both his grief and his obligations to his family.
Paikea is raised by her grandparents, her grandfather which loves her but never gets over his disappointment that she was not a girl, because she is the last of the tribe and there is no one for the leadership to pass on to from him.
Her ancestor, Paikea, was said to have led his tribe to Aotearoa after nearly dying as his canoe sank, by riding a whale all the way from Hawaiiki, both where the Maori mythologies placed their ancestors before they migrated to Aotearoa and the Maori paradise.

Firstly, Hawaiiki is considered our Ancestral Homeland...yet there is much debate as to where Hawaiiki is. It ISN'T Hawaii by the way.
Hawaiiki Pamamao is believed to be somewhere in Africa...Hawaiiki Roa is believed to be the European/Chinese/Soviet continents...and Hawaiiki Nui is believed to be the Americas.
There are many tribal/ancient cultures through those areas that have very similar mythology to the Maori, many similar belief structures and rituals pertaining to life, birth, marriage, death etc...which for most cultures remain unchanged, for those are the cornerstone events of any culture.

 THE MAORI
It is not known how long this term has been in use but it is unlikely that this was the collective term used before European occupation).
The Maori, themselves, hold to the belief that they travelled from the fabled land they call 'Hawaiiki' (not to be confused with the Hawaiian Islands) and were led to Aotearoa, by the gods.
Archaeologists tend to favour the idea that the first of the (many) migrations to these shores took place around 800-900ce, with a larger and more consequential migration occurring around 1100-1200ce.

And so the stories of discovery and adventure were shared with the people of Hawaiiki – stories of giant trees, mountain ranges, rivers full of fish and greenstone, and forests full of birds, some standing taller than a man.
So enticing were these stories that the people of Hawaiiki wanted to see those places for themselves.
This was the beginning of the migration of the Māori people from Hawaiiki, and was made possible because Kupe had chased the giant wheke across the Pacific Ocean to discover a new and wonderful land called Aotearoa.
