Early Voyagers
Over four hundred years before Christopher Columbus and the rest of Europe worried about falling off the edge of the world, Maori people voyaged thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean in small canoes, they became the first inhabitants of New Zealand.
Kia ora Evangeline,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the holiday blogging programme. I am SOOO excited that you have joined us again this year! I was really hoping that you would :)
It's great to see that you've started your journey by learning new things about the history of New Zealand. That is such a great place to start. I must admit that I was pretty surprised when I first read that many of the European explorers believed that the world was flat and that they would 'fall off of the edge' if they travelled too far south. Given what we now know about the world, this seems quite strange, doesn't it?
Fortunately, our Maori ancestors were brave enough to travel south and to discover New Zealand. I wonder what they thought about NZ when they first arrived here...
Keep up the great work with your blogging, Evangeline. You're flying through the activities. Awesome work!
