"E ngā iwi o ngā hau e whā e noho ana i runga i ngā motu nei, Aotearoa, Te Wāhi Pounamu whiti atu ki te ao hurihuri tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, katoa." Ngāi Tahu, an indigenous people of New Zealand, extend our greetings to all our readers, nationally and internationally. We invite you to learn about our culture, our history, and our people in New Zealand today. New Zealand is a land of many contrasts both geographically and culturally. We want to share with you our language, our traditions and history and our love for this land - Aotearoa (New Zealand) - The Land Of The Long White Cloud. In particular - Te Waipounamu (The Greenstone Isle), the South Island. | |
