Te Taiwhenua o Tamatea chairman Dr Roger
Maaka said Ngā Ara Tipuna will enable the history of
Tamatea to be learned, understood and acknowledged, in a way
that is unique in New Zealand. “As well as sharing
knowledge with our wider population and bringing visitors to
our rohe, it will enable us to make our history real for our
rangatahi, so they can understand how it relates to them and
where they are today, and give them a good grounding to
become mentors for the next generation .
