Original Note:
The names of NZ Islands are Te Ika a Maui, Te Waipounamu, Rakiura, and others the need to define a nation came about in 1835 (Niu Tireni NZ was used in Ngapuhi). Other tribal narratives recall Kuramarotini wife of Kupe as naming 'Aotearoa' now adopted by most Maori. https://nzhistory.govt.nz/culture/declaration-of-independence-taming-the-frontier https://teara.govt.nz/en/first-peoples-in-maori-tradition/page-6
