Seven wāhine Māori from Raukawa have completed a 370km trek across the north island retracing the footsteps of their ancestor Māhinaarangi (Te Aorewa Rolleston, RNZ)
Over three weeks, Dr Naomi Simmonds from Te Whare Wānanga o Awananuiārangi and her six relatives travelled on foot from Hastings to a pā site in Rangiātea, arriving at their destination this past Sunday.
Māhinaarangi trekked 500km while pregnant, on the way giving birth to her son, the ancestor Raukawa.
“It’s a love story, Māhinaarangi fell in love with Tūrongo from Tainui Waka, who had gone over to the neck of the woods down in Ngāti Kahungunu to help build a house. They fell in love, and she fell pregnant,” Dr Simmonds said.
