TUIA 250 ROUTE TWEAKED AFTER WAIKARE OBJECTS TO BEING LEFT OUT
One of the Tuia 250 flotilla's stops in the Bay of Islands this week was not part of the original programme — despite its historic links to Tupaia, a master navigator and high priest from Tahiti who sailed with Cook on the Endeavour.
In 1769 Te Koukou, an ancestor of Te Kapotai hapū, was shot in the thigh at Motuarohia Island by members of Cook's crew.
Tupaia accompanied the badly injured Te Koukou back to Waikare — which is these days on the back road between Kawakawa and Russell — where he helped him heal.
