Ancestors of the Arowhenua people in the earliest tribal groups of Rapuwai and Waitaha are credited with the traditional artworks that adorn the walls, ceilings and favourite places of the old people throughout the area.
This project is about sustaining culture and history to ensure that the stories of our people and community are never lost. We will do this through a shared vision to move forward with a revitalised and expanded building that will cater for the needs of current and future generations.
The story of Aoraki and his brothers has been passed down through many generations of our people and has endured across both time and tribe to continue as a creation mythology of high importance to us.
