He Pā Mataora: Past and future of our marae
Have you wondered about the history and significance of the beautiful carved house, Te Tumu Herenga Waka, that stands proudly on Kelburn Parade? Are you curious about the development work currently going on around it?
Join Professor Peter Adds, Te Kawa a Māui—the School of Māori Studies and Professor Rawinia Higgins, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Māori) as they take you on a journey from the first carved wharenui in any university in Aotearoa New Zealand to the ambitious Living Pā project, connecting to the past to inform our future.
This talk was presented as part of Whakanuia Celebrate 125—Heritage Open Day, which was held at Kelburn campus on Saturday 5 November to celebrate our 125th anniversary.
