	Kupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, according to legends of the Whanganui and Taranaki regions Kupe was a contemporary of Turi of the Aotea canoe.
		Kupe was and is known, in the traditions of the Hokianga, Waikato, East Coast and South Island: but the genealogies given did not tally with those given by S. Percy Smith.
		Kupe sends the cormorant to rest the current in the Manukau harbour, which the bird reports as weak, and in Cook Strait, which the bird reports as too strong.

		Kupe knew that this tohorä was the child of Tangaroa seen in the vision of Pouahi.
		Kupe sent his son, Tuputupuwhenua, and his nephew Manawarangi to scout the area and when the two young men returned they reported the plateau was flat and sheltered by the trees, and it would be a good place to make camp.
		Kupe wanted his son to remain here to bury the roots of his father in the soil and grow another branch of the whakapapa.

		Kupe also spoke of the fishermen who had generously fed and looked after their tribe since he was a young man, and how respected they were within the whanau.
		Kupe tried reciting a karakia that would draw fish to his line, but when he pulled it from the depths of the ocean, his bait was gone.
		Kupe pointed his mere at the wheke and chanted a spell, ensuring it would never again be able to dive to the depths of the ocean and hide.

		Kupe then shouted to Po-heuea, "Throw the bunch of calabashes at the head of the octopus!" This was done, and the monster, thinking perhaps that it was a man, let go the canoe, and encircled the calabashes with all his tentacles.
		Kupe paddled up the Whanganui River to see if any people lived there; he went as far as Kau-arapawa, so called by him because his servant tried to swim the river there to obtain some korau, or wild cabbage, and was drowned, for the river was in flood.
		The origin of that striving of Kupe against Wheke was that Wheke had killed Punaraku, the daughter of Kupe, who went to bathe at the Wai o Rongo, a place on Rarotonga, when the subject of Muturangi [i.e., the Wheke] carried her off to Taiwhetuki [the house of death].

	KUPE - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		In Hawaiki Kupe is said to have coveted Kurumaro-tini, the wife of Hoturapa and possessor of the Matahorua canoe.
		Kupe's accounts are taken as traditional evidence that New Zealand was uninhabited at the time of his visit, but one Wanganui tradition suggests otherwise.
		According to tradition, Kupe was the only Maori voyager to make the return journey from New Zealand to Hawaiki, a fact that lends a certain credence to the modern belief that the Maori settlement was largely the result of accidental voyages.

		Mount Kupe, in Southwest Cameroon is one of the last remaining areas of montane forest in Cameroon.
		The use of the forest by this increasing population, together with attempts to derive subsistence from the natural resource base of the area, constitute important threats to the conservation of wildlife and plants in the forest and the mountain.
		To address some of the issues facing the mountain and the people who live around it, the Kupe All Chiefs Meeting, representing 19 village communities from the area, meets regularly to discuss problems facing the natural environment and mobilise local people to seek solutions to them.
