I don’t know whether you have been informed of my find of carved stone taonga in the Tararua ,Dannevirke area ,from a series of ancient sites. i have been searching for the Tangata Whenua who might lay claim to this marvellous find ,i have informed you on an earlier occasion concerning this information,your map on P29 ‘page three virtually tells the story for me concerning Waitaha settlement .i therefore invite you to visit my display and restoration studio to inspect and handle the carved Taonga.They tell us so much of our ancient history that has been lost through various situations .There also much more to tell concerning Waitaha in the petroglyps and script that identifies you people as once being in this area,the ancient script is now being deciphered by Beijing Uni .Ancient scripts division .it is imperitive that you contact me in connection with this find ..Badger .

Tena koe Barney
The website is http://www.pacificvoyagers.org
I met a young man of Ngai Tahu and Waitaha. His name is Tiaki ??? he is from the Morven marae and he was on the Haunui waka. When you go to the website you will see the individual waka and then be able to read the bios of the crews for each waka. It truly is a magnificent kaupapa, multi faceted and all incorporating deep respect for the ancient and Te Ao Hurihuri the old trails of our ancestors, the traditional navigation methods and looking after Tangaroa for our children and grandchildren.
They left from Auckland in mid April would you believe and not a peep on main stream media!!!! Let me know what you think and feel free to keep in touch Barney or is your name Te Uirangi.

Hi Guys I’m a writer researching our NZ history starting from the early period of creation. My reseach goes back 2-3000 BCE having traced where Maori come from before their arrival in Astroasia now seeking the beginning of Waitaha. My wife & I have attended the Kiakoe Waitaha School of learning without to much luck? Now trying to find your early starting point believed to be ‘Waitangi Ki Roto’ presume to be Rapa-nui or Tahiti? Questions please: (A) Can anyone tell me what time & days are the Kaikoe branch is open? (B)how do I get hold of the artist whos drawings & paintings are in the Waitaha’s two books please, Thanks.

What does “Waitaha” mean? Is it a name, or a place, or an Iwi?
