Māori - Children of Hawaiki

The film is based on the mystery of the origin of the Maori. Presumably, Māori appeared in New Zealand in the 12th century ad. And their ancestral home is the mythical country of Hawaiki, whose name is preserved in ancient Māori myths and legends. Polynesia (and the Maori are Polynesians) are dozens of peoples and more than 1,000 Islands scattered across the Central and South Pacific. Where exactly was the legendary Hawaiki?
