We learnt about what life was like for the early Maori. Te Ao Marama is a replica of a pa. Matua Roy told us that everyone had a role to play in the life of a pa, the tribes survival depended on it.
Turangawaewae is about knowing where you belong, to be able to stand tall in your own place and being able to stand tall no matter where you are. It is about knowing where you are from, what is your mountain, what is your awa and knowing your ancestors are always with you.
"Turangawaewae-means standing firmly in your place."
