	Waka (canoe) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The names and stories associated with those waka were passed on in Maori oral history (korero nehera) as the descendants of the settlers multiplied and separated into iwi (tribes), [(hapu)] (sub-tribes).
		The word waka is used to denote confederations of iwi descended from the settlers of a single migratory canoe.
		A waka huia is a hollowed and carved vessel used for storing (of taonga) treasures such as the prized tail feathers of the now-extinct huia which are worn as ornaments in the hair.

		Waka can be divided into three classes: war canoe - the finest and most richly carved type of Māori canoe, used in war expeditions and coastal voyages; fishing canoe - smaller and plainer, used for sea fishing and coastal voyagers; and river canoe - a plain dug-out hull, used for many purposes.
		Māori canoe paddles were manufactured from the hardwoods of New Zealand manuka, matai, maire, pukatea or tawa, which when dry were extremely light and yet could bear the weight and pressure.
		Toko waka (canoe poles) are made to fit the handgrip of the owner - varying in length from 2.5 to 6 metres.

		The outside of the hull was flat, which stopped the wind pushing the canoe sideways; the inside was rounded to keep the water flowing between the hull and the outrigger.
		All double-hulled canoes sat high in the water to minimise drag, and were therefore capable of great speeds.
		Length served two purposes: one was to steer the canoe; the other was to prevent the vessel being pushed sideways by the wind and sea swell.

		This is a new Group started 04/09/06 for those building our canoe designs - this will be a group/forum to exchange ideas on construction and to share photos of the canoes you are building and the treks that you have undertaken with them.
		The Canoe User Group/Forum is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SFDesigncanoebuilders - when you link to it, press the "Join" link if you want to join.

	New Designs for 2001
		This canoe is based upon our Waterman 13 which has been given a larger capacity by introducing tumblehome into the topsides and giving her a little more depth—(14”/0.355m) - this makes her excellent for carrying larger loads on a short length and for open canoe sailing.
		This canoe is based upon our Baby Raven which is an all round general purpose canoe—this asymmetric version gives a slightly faster craft for single handed use—she would also make a good sailing canoe and would fill the remit of a slightly smaller Carrick.
		The Tikopian 24 is based on the 18' Waka Ama and uses the same stitch and tape plywood construction process.

		Over the next 400 years, those canoes became larger and more elaborate until, at their peak of development, they were large double-hulled craft with a single claw-shaped sail to supplement the efforts of the paddlers.
		There are the large and highly decorated war canoes (the famed "waka taua") able to carry as many as 180 men with 90 or 100 of them paddling at a time to the synchronising calls of a captain.
		Part of the sporting events are the canoe races, some of which include hurdles, in which the paddlers are required to power their canoes over a hurdle some 20 or 30 cm.

		The revival of the Waka ama or traditional outrigger canoes offers Pacific youth a way to re-establish a close relationship with nature, and knowledge of their forebearers, says James Papali'i, whos is leading the revival.

	The Waka - Te Paranihi on display at Otago Museum Dunedin New Zealand
		There are many different forms of waka, determined by their purpose, and the one at the Otago Museum is based on a 'waka taua' - a war canoe.
		Although originally intended to be a war canoe Te Paranihi was never used for fighting and instead the 16 metre long vessel was used as a fishing canoe by Maori in the region.
		The waka was purchased by the Otago Museum in 1931.

	Eruption - Tarawera
		At first the group was startled by the rapid surges in the water of lake Tarawera this was soon forgotten as the tourists longed to begin the journey and the locals wanted the economical benefits.
		The tourists in the boat, and their Maori crew, clearly watched a waka (canoe) moving parallel to them a half mile to the north.
		The crew of the waka were paddling rapidly towards Mount Tarawera as if in a traditional Maori funerary procession to the sacred burial grounds and paid no attention to the tourist boat.

	nzepc - Robert Sullivan - From waka to whakapapa - Peter Marsden
		Waka 89, whilst on the surface a very un-Western text, at the same time proceeds in the same vein as 88 in constructively and deftly playing off the conventions of the oral and the written against each other, in particular putting a humorous metafictional, or metapoetic, gloss on the oral tradition.
		The sequence of "voice"-poems is crowned by the "eponymous" Waka 96:
		The vessels — whether canoe or tall ship, or rather: canoe and tall ship, that is the point — that brought the poet's ancestors to where he now is, were at the same time the media by which their culture, value systems, language and art forms were transmitted.

		The second is that of the "waka" (canoe to non-New Zealander readers), a vehicle on which successful candidates ride into parliament, and then disembark from.
		The waka mechanism encourages even those who become well enough known to be elected as Independents to behave in a collegial way.
		The waka mechanism does not, however, require back-bench MPs to be political infantry, at their leaders' command.

	Waitangi Tribunal - About the Reports
		With the aid of Te Ngaki people the canoe was dragged to their main village at the mouth of a stream now known as Waitangi, the first place of that name in New Zealand, signifying the lament (tangi) for the wrecking of that sacred canoe.
		One of the earliest known canoes, some claim the first to strike the beaches of Tai Tokerau, was Mamaru, on which Te Parata was the chief man. The canoe had earlier sailed under the name of Tinana and the authority of Tumoana, Parata's uncle.
		Their waka was sinking, and the damage was repaired at the Kermadec islands, using Po's kaharoa to bind the loosened timbers together.
