Nate’s family are from Mahia on the _east_____ coast of New Zealand’s north island and he went back there to open the results from the DNA test, where they were _welcomed________ onto the ___marae_____.  According to the scientists, Nate’s clan mother was from East Eurasia and America (not from _england________ as she thought).  Nate’s father is Maori.  

The next stop on their journey was 3000 km away in _rarotonga____________ in the Cook Islands.  According to the scientists who study DNA, three-quarters of Maori and Cook Islanders _share_______ the same ancestry.  Oscar and Nate went to the spot from where, according to local _polynesuans___________, waka like the takitimu set out to New Zealand some 700 years ago.  The languages between the two cultures are very similar and Oscar says that it is just like having an older brother.

The last _stage_______ in their journey took them to Taiwan.  Again they were amazed at how similar they looked in appearance to the __indigeonus__________ coastal people of Taiwan, like Niwa who showed them around.  In a __muesium________ dedicated to pre-history, Oscar and Nate could see the _____difference_______ between the people, for examples in the _______ moku.  Even some of the words used were similar.  The yam, ________ and coconut all came from here and were taken across the Pacific by early voyagers.  Taiwan was the beginning of their __________ story.
