Copyright Notice
In taking the unprecedented step of allowing the knowledge of the ancestors to be written for the first time, the Elders of Waitaha ask that the words, illustrations and maps shared here be respected as the sacred taonga of their people, their children’s children. To protect the wisdom of the past, and to allow it to travel truly into the future, they place a rahui on all contained within these pages – that what is shared in trust might be honoured in trust for all time.
