1He Waka Taua It has been at least ten years since the last Waka Taua, or war canoe, was built and a flotilla of these impressive craft has not been seen on the open sea this century. But next year's Commonwealth Games and Waitangi celebrations will change all that. 1990 will be the Year of the Waka Taua.
