  • Whakapapa

    Whakapapa is our family history or genealogy. It’s knowing who we are and where we’re from. It provides us with identity and history, and connects us with our tūpuna with our tūpuna, whānau, whenua, iwi and marae. 

    Whakapapa was traditionally passed down through kōrero and waiata, as well as shared through carvings and karakia.
