Tory Channel is known as Kura Te Au - the red current - a name that refers to the blood that flowed from the octopus when it died.
Sometimes red veins of krill / maunu can be seen flowing through the Sounds.
Kupe is said to have had a pet rupe (pigeon).
According to Ngati Kuia tradition Kupe's pigeon visited Mt Furneaux / Puhikereru and Te Rupe o Ruapaka near Canvastown looking for good sources of food.

It was almost exclusively a celebration of the navigational feats and achievements of Cook.
A Māori perspective was largely absent. So too was any recognition of the role of the Tahitian chief and navigator Tupaia in these early encounters.
Separated from their homelands for perhaps 500 years, Māori saw Tupaia as a link to their ancient past.
Many remembered the Endeavour as ‘Tupaia’s waka’, not Cook’s.

The University of Otago report, Turning the Tide - from Cars to Active Transport, has recommended the Government put targets and legislation in place to reduce car use in urban centres from 84 per cent of trips to 45 per cent by 2050.
The report claims two-thirds of car trips made for commuting between 2015 and 2017 were within a comfortable cycling distance (five kilometres or less), while one-third were within a reasonable walking distance (2km or less).
