  Hawaiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawaiki is the mythical island that the Polynesians trace their origins to.
The name "Hawaiki" is specifically Māori and figures in Maori legends about their arrival to Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Legend has it that the Polynesians migrated from Hawaiki to the islands of the Pacific Ocean in open boats, little different from the traditional craft found in Polynesia today.

The fourth tower will be similar to the $110 million, 46-story Hawaiki Tower in size and development costs, but contain fewer — although larger — apartments at a slightly higher price, according to MacKinnon.

 Taiwan could be mythical 'Hawaiki' a researcher says
A genetics researcher yesterday added her voice to claims that a mythical island of origin known to a number of Polynesian ethnic groups as "Hawaiki" could be referring to Taiwan.
Mackay Memorial Hospital researcher Lin Ma-li said that "Australia's Aboriginal Maori people" believe that their ancestors came from a place known as "Hawaiki." She said that correspondence between the DNA of indigenous peoples in the South Pacific and Hawaii suggested that Taiwan might be that place, given their purported common origin.
It was not clear what fresh political purpose the genetic evidence might serve, given that a number of researchers in anthropology, archeology and linguistics have argued for close to two decades that Taiwan was the dispersal point for seafarers who migrated throughout the Pacific and as far west as Madagascar.

The myth that began this tradition of the sacred canoes stems from the belief that Hawaiki was the legendary launching place of the Maori people (Ihimaera 8).
Tura teaches the people of Hawaiki how to use fire and sets in motion the birth cycle, thus establishing the human biological cycle and the customs relating to birth (Orbell 14).
The illustration in these myths of how human life has been spawned on Hawaiki shows how valuable the myths of Hawaiki are to Maori cultural traditions.

 Kupe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Kupe was a great chief of Hawaiki (Tahiti), whose father was from Rarotonga, and whose mother was from Rangiatea (Ra'iatea), where her father lived.
Shortly after Kupe returned from Hawaiki to Rangiatea, Rongorongo's first child was born, and Kupe said, "Let the name of the child be Turanga-i-mua; to signify my being the first to stand on Aotea-roa." (Turanga, "standing"; i mua, "ahead").
From my book Hawaiki, it will be learnt that this was the period when the second great extension of Polynesian voyages commenced, the headquarters of the Tonga-hiti branch (which includes Maoris, Rarotongans, and Tahitians, etc.) was in Fiji, but Tahiti had at that time already received the first installment of its population.

The Maoris in New Zealand trace their ancestry back to a migration by canoes from Hawaiki, perhaps 800 to 1,000 years ago.
Hawaiki has been variously interpreted as Hawaii, the Cook Islands, or the Society Islands.
Another important class of songs was lullabies, which were created for the child of a chief or warrior and traced its lineage back to Hawaiki, including battles and migrations, and perhaps curses and promises of retribution for enemies.

For long this chronology was accepted as the basic framework for New Zealand prehistory.(2) In addition, it became incorporated in Maori oral tradition, as did the mythological Hawaiki.
Thus, when in their ceremonial speeches (whaikoorero) Maori elders pay respect to their ancestors in `Hawaiki-nui, Hawaiki-roa, Hawaiki-paa-mamao' (Great Hawaiki Long Hawaiki, Distant Hawaiki), or when they attribute the discovery and settlement of New Zealand to Kupe, Toi and later the Great Fleet, they, in fact, echo the legendary voice of Smith.
His highly speculative ideas of Maori history have had to give way to the results of recent archaeological inquiries which are based on more reliable research methods than the antiquated philological and genealogical approach which ultimately rested on the belief in the infallibility of the memory of the Maori `man of learning' (tohunga; cf.
