Welcome to Whangarei - Gathering Place of the Whales

Kia Ora! Greetings!

Welcome to my home Aotearoa – Land of the Long White Cloud. I am tangata whenua, the people of this land. My ancestors were spiritually connected to everything that our earth mother and sky father provided for us. From our sacred mountains that connect me to the land, to our waterways that give me live. I will carry on the traditions of my ancestors by being the kaitiaki or guardian of all these precious taonga or treasures that have been left to me.

These are the things and places, most of them provided by Papatūānuku, the earth mother, loved and held in high regard by tangata whenua - people of the land.
