Kā Huru Manu
|
Kā Huru Manu, The Ngāi Tahu Cultural Mapping Project, uses the latest Geographical Information System (GIS) technology to record and map our Ngāi Tahu stories and place names onto a virtual landscape for future generations. The online, digital Ngāi Tahu Atlas includes over 1,000 traditional Māori place names that have been fully referenced from whānau manuscripts, published books, 19th century maps, newspaper articles, and a vast array of unpublished material. The atlas also includes information about ara tawhito (traditional travel routes), Native Reserves and other original Māori land allocations such as the SINA and half-cast crown grants. The website tells the story behind the project and celebrates the people who have been involved.

Te tapa whenua: naming the land
|
Place names tell us where we are and where we might want to go. On maps they help us find our way around. But place names are also important landmarks of the history, culture and identity of our nation and the communities within it. Before Māori language was written down, tapa whenua helped to record history and define relationships between people and the land. These place names tell stories of creation myths, ancestors, explorers, notable events, as well as describe landscape features and identify resources.
Travel online with LEARNZ to:
- discover the stories and reasons behind Ngāi Tahu place naming throughout this area
- explore the connection of people to special places and environments
- inquire into how place names represent the story of settlement by a range of people in Aotearoa New Zealand
- consider the importance of place names and their stories being handed down, retained and restored
- inquire into the significance and stories behind place names in your own rohe.
