About this Site

This site is designed as a repository and guardian for the resources and knowledge of a series of tribal rohe in the far north of Aotearoa (New Zealand); Te Rarawa ki Hokianga, Ngapuhi ki Hokianga, Te Uri o Hau ki Kaipara, Ngapuhi ki Pewhairangi, Ngapuhi ki Matauri and Patuharakeke ki Takahiwai.

This new site is the culmination of work by a team of researchers, academics and oral historians from the James Henare Maori Research Centre at the University of Auckland.

Nau Mai Haere Mai

Nau mai haere mai ki Maraeatea! Welcome to the Maraeatea website.

This site acts as a repository on mātauranga or customary knowledge compiled from tōhunga/experts and kaumātua/elders from Aotearoa and around the Pacific. Here they share waka narratives and connect them with our ancestral landscapes.

About Maraeatea

The site provides community perspectives, and collates kōrero or stories from archives and other sources that are not well known.

On these pages through maps, you can listen to the videos and browse through contemporary and historical images and written narratives of places, people and migration stories. The site is continually evolving and we hope you enjoy navigating around.
