"Land of Voyagers" is being created as a koha, a gift, to be shared with all the rangatahi of Aotearoa New Zealand.
We will be building this site as we follow the Tuia 250 Voyage from Tahiti to Aotearoa and we invite you to join us on our voyage of discovery.
This site will celebrate the incredible story of our Polynesian ancestors, our tupuna. A story that has remained largely untold in our schools since the arrival of Captain Cook 250 years ago. Each week we will be adding new stories, and we start with the story of the greatest migration in the history of mankind.
Kō ngā tahu ā ō tapuwai inanahi, hei tauira mō āpōpō - in the Maori world view it is our past that always lies in front of us - "the footsteps laid down by our ancestors create the paving stones upon which we stand today."
That means, if we are to truly understand how we came to be who we are today, we have to understand the footsteps - all of the footsteps - that brought us here.
We hope that "Land of Voyagers" will help to fill in those footsteps for our rangatahi as they lay their footsteps into the future.
