Statue of Wairaka
text:
The Statue of Wairaka is located at Whakatāne Heads in Whakatāne, New Zealand. Wairaka was the daughter of Toroa, the captain and navigator of the Mātaatua waka (canoe) which travelled from Hawaiki to present-day New Zealand. When the Mātaatua first arrived in the Whakatāne region, the men left the women alone in the canoe while they went ashore. The canoe started to drift back to sea, and although women were forbidden from handling a canoe, Wairaka picked up a paddle and led the women to paddle
