Letter: Let the adventures of the Māori show us the way

Published 25 February 2026

From John Grant, Caloundra, Queensland, Australia

As an example of how seafarers could cross vast oceans to populate new lands, look no further than the Māori in their quest to settle Aotearoa. They were both brilliant boat builders and navigators, using nothing more than observations of nature – and faith in Tangaroa, god of the sea. 31 January, p 32
