Our Journey > Haerenga Te Tai Poutini

On Friday 13th November 2020, we embarked on an amazing journey of discovery.  We travelled to Te Tai Poutini from Ōtautahi, with the goal of exploring who we are and what our part is to play in the sustainability of our natural environment.

We visited...

~ Te awa o Arahura

~ Te awa o Makaawhio

~ Te Marae o Te Tauraka-waka-ā-Maui

~ Te awa o Jacksons

~ Te Tai Poutini Polytech

~ Māwhera

~ Hokitika

This map shows the journey we travelled to connect with the concepts of Kaitiakitanga and how we might contribute positively to the future narrative of this taonga for Te Ao Māori.

As you can see, we explored up and down Te Tai Poutini, we connected with Te Taiao (the natural environment) and explored what it is to be a kaitiaki for this beautiful whenua.
