An online game aimed at supporting indigenous education goes live today.
Katuku Island took years of development by Dr Phyllis Callaghan and her late husband Craig Callaghan, and draws on their experience in Māori education, including teaching at Gisborne Boys High School, Tūranga Tane.
She says while there are some technical components that required overseas input, the core of the game is by Māori and for Māori. So the avatars are like warrior toa, warrior princess. We have whakairo in our backgrounds, We have cultural literacy tasks that are built on a Māori worldview. We have waka. Every element comes from a Māori worldview. Not only that, it is created by Māori, Dr Gallaghan says.

Ngāti Oneone’s Te Poho o Rawiri Marae in Gisborne has had a clean-up in what will be a regular occurrence.
The meeting house was built about 1930 by Sir Apirana Ngata and master carvers Pine and Hone Taiapa as a showcase for the Maori revival.
Elizabeth Kerekere, who oversaw the year-long restoration of the marae’s 111 tukutuku panels in 2018, says the fragile weavings were cleaned at that stage and just need a touch up every two years.
