Tupaia's Part in NZ history

Tupaia, a Polynesian who used the stars to navigate, helping Cook succeeding in his great journey to New Zealand. Tupaia was talented in different ways, he  knew lots of fluent Pasifika languages and also English which he learned along the way on Cooks ship, He was also known as an artist and tattooist. However Tupaia was not credited for his part in the journey in finding Aotearoa.
Finding informaition about Tupaia and his journey is very important in the New Zealand History.
