Short film series "Toitu te whenua - Te Reo place names of our whenua". The 8-part series delves into our heritage, restoring the power of names, and rediscovering the connections between our people and the landscapes that nurture our stories.
As Māori did not have a written language, place names and the stories that went with them helped to pass on history and retain knowledge through the generations.
In the heart of Aotearoa’s rugged landscapes, a story of ancient legends and enduring traditions unfolds. This is the story of the mountain(or maunga/mauka) Pikirakatahi.
