This week my class were to make a slide about how New Zealand was found. We were to read two story about James Cook and Kupe. I read both of them and the diction on who found New Zealand first is James Cook because he found it first but diced to not tell any one but family. It was a little after then Kupe found it but then told every one so when James said he was the actual one to find it first they didn't believe him till He went and gave Kupe the evidence and deiced to let him be the one how found New Zealand. So as you can see James Cook was the one to find New Zealand also Kupe was just fishing for Octopus then he saw a new Island.
