WAKA HUIA - WAIRAKA

I tēnei hotaka Waka Huia, ka whakatewhatewha tātou i te mana me te tapu o te tuawahine o Ngāti Awa, ko Wairaka. Kua kaha rangona e te marea tōna pūrākau mō te waka o Mataatua, nāna nei te taone o Whakatāne i tapa.
Ka ākona hoki e tātou tōna noho ki Tāmaki Makaurau, me te hirahira o ōna tapuwae ki reira mō āna uri whakaheke.

This episode of Waka Huia explores the journey of the Ngāti Awa ancestress, Wairaka. Typically known as the heroine who rescued the Mataatua Waka and the reason the town of Whakatāne has its name.
We also learn about the time she spent in Auckland and the different places she ventured to that still hold significance to her descendants today.

He rawe te kōrero nei i kōrerotia e korua, me te mōhio hoki ki te take i whakararu ai a Wairaka, aue ko tōna pohehetanga hoki, me te nanakiatanga hoki o Maiurenui, he hātakēhi tērā, engari, he rawe ki te mōhio i te tikanga o taua kōrero ināianei, ngā mihi.
