About a thousand years ago the island of New Zealand began to occupy the people of the Pacific Ocean – “people of the earth” Maori. They found this land while following the course by the stars. Then they saw the huge, misty and cloudy island and named it “Aotearoa” – land of long white cloud. These were the first men to walk on the coast of New Zealand – for them it was a land of unexplored forests, mountains and deserted beaches. The loudest sound was the song of birds, the whistling wind, the lapping of waves and echoes of fallen stone.
