Many of the pūrākau are common - for example the exploits of Maui, and the language of many parts is very closely related. The concept of whakapapa can be transferred from people to also refer to links and commonalities between languages, technology, beliefs, values, arts and culture. The close links Māori have with other Polynesians, as well as the development of each group in distinctive ways, is also reflected in the histories of other parts of the world. 4 Migratory theories Theories of the migration patterns of the people in Polynesia and surrounding areas vary widely. It is envisaged that this unit standard will cover the accounts provided by the Polynesian groups based on family knowledge handed down over the generation as well as those theories developed by archaeologists based on scientific research, analysis and conjecture.
