Aotearoa - Earth & Sky

Aotearoa is the recognised maori name for New Zealand which comes from a phrase Kupe’s (an early maori Pacific explorer) wife Hine-te-Aparangi said when sighting land said “He ao, he aotea, he Aotearoa”, it is a cloud, a white cloud, a long white cloud becoming Aotearoa “Land of the long white cloud”.
