NGA PAE O TE MARAMATANGA

Waka Wairua is a pan-Pacific investigation into heritage, genealogy and narrative. It aimed to 1.) To deepen understanding and appreciation of Māori heritage; 2). To expand understandings of commonalities that Māori shares with the Pacific - demonstrating shared cultural heritage through historical and contemporary narratives of ancestral landscapes in New Zealand, Taputapuatea and Rarotonga; and, 3. Build a web 2.0-based educational resource as a key mechanism for the creative potential of communities to be given life, to be communicated and to be realised.

​

Research has been completed, and as of 2021, we are rebuilding an integrated platform to host archival, video and audio material concerning waka vogaging, ancestral landscapes and tupuna. Stay tuned.
