For Māori, reciting whakapapa isn’t just about the past – it’s about identity, belonging and connection to whenua and whānau.

Your whakapapa is yours to shape. Some people trace back to great-grandparents, others go all the way back to the captain of their waka!

In our Intermediate Te Reo Māori Course, we help our students develop and structure their tātai whakapapa. For many, this is the first time they’ve been able to learn about and connect with their tūpuna. As kaiako, it’s always such a privilege to witness this huge milestone.
