"At last our story is told. Now the brave ancestors we have hidden for so long stand again for all to see".
With these words the Elders of Waitaha (grandfathers) share for the first time their ancient and sacred lore. Bound in secrecy for centuries, protected through the ages by those who gave their lives to keep it safe, this knowledge travels out of the past to be revealed in "Song of Waitaha". It tells of the settling of these lands, the interrelationships of the people with all things so as to live in peace, harmony and reverence with the land and each other.
Song of Waitaha : the histories of a nation - being the teachings of Iharaira Te Meihana, Wiremu Ruka Te Korako, Taare Reweti Te Maiharoa, Perenara Hone Hare, Heremia Te Wake & Renata Kauere.
