WAIKATO THE WANDERER –

Waikato the Wanderer is an animated video about a Ngāti Tūwharetoa story of the creation of the Waikato Awa.
Produced by Ngā Kaihautu o te awa o Waikato, a committee facilitated by the Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board, the video shares Tūwharetoa history and stories about our connection to the Waikato Awa.
The video is for Ngāti Tūwharetoa; our hapū, marae, whānau and kura so that our mātauranga and tupuna kōrero is shared and strengthened.
