    Learning Intentions: 

    Whakapapa and tūrangawaewae are at the heart of Māori culture. Understanding whakapapa and tūrangawaewae involves learning the unique stories that contribute to our sense of belonging and help us to become who we are. People, land, countries, teams and clubs all have stories about origins, place, significant events and names.
     

    Learning intentions for this experience are:

    • Investigate and understand whakapapa and tūrangawaewae.

    • Review or extend mihi and share stories with each other.

    • Outer world and inner world

    • In the concept of tūrangawaewae, the external world reflects an inner sense of security and foundation. The mountains, rivers and waterways to which one can claim a relationship also express this internal sense of foundation.
