Social Studies :
Today in social studies our task was to understand migration theories. We had to understand the different Polynesian migration theories. There is a guy that goes by the name of Thor Heyerdahl who believes that Maoris originally came from South America. He is the man who built a raft called the Kon Tiki.
Others believe that they came from Asia. They had evidence to their theory, one of them being that their language is a lot similar throughout the Pacific.
Some Maoris believe that they came from a place called Hawaiki. There are distinct similarities between Maori languages and culture and others of Polynesia including the Cook Island, Hawai, and Tahiti.
