HĀ – History of Aotearoa

Harnessing the creative genuious of our tupuna to share the histories of Aotearoa

Since the beginning of time, histories have been shared to children through song and dance, woven into clothes, adorned wharenui and etched on our skin.

These stories raise children.

These stories shape nations.

HĀ have crafted workshops for kaiako and tamariki to experience our local histories through the creative storytelling of our tupuna.

Enabling you with the tools to explore our histories and think creatively about our shared future
