If you click on here, you’ll go to the first part of an entry. When you get in there, what you get here is a little bit of text down here, which is really the serious story. And on the right we’ve got all these different resources: images, sound files and everything. If we click on one of those, and we’ll do that right now, it comes up in a big screen. And this map here tells you the story really of the migration of the ancestors of Māori people to New Zealand.
Really they came in three stages, they came first of all round about 3000 years ago, through to the areas around Samoa, and the areas around Northern Australia, round the Solomon Islands. And then they moved round about 2000 years ago, across to Samoa, and Tonga, and Fiji, those areas. And then roundabout 1000, 2000 years ago, they then started to move to Hawaii, and eventually roundabout 1300 AD or thereabouts, round about 700 years ago they came down to New Zealand. And this entry tells us all about how they did that. And if you want to, you can simply stay on this little thing, what we call the ‘image and media trail’ and go from one image to another. And if you do that you will get a pretty good idea of what the story of migration to New Zealand was all about.
