“I love using the historical images, especially 'something happened here'. It makes learning so much more authentic for our tauira, to be able to visualise the events, see what happened and kōrero about what they think happened. Looking forward to continuing on with the learning journey. Loving this rauemi.”

“WOW! What an amazing resource so much to learn and so much to do. From the cards with the pepeha on them, the photographs, the whole resource itself was just amazing. As there was so much contained in this resource I chose to do the ones that applied to our rohe and hapori. My pupils loved learning more about our community, a pepeha that they can all whakapapa to, and the history of our and wider communities within the Wellington region. Tau kē Aotearoa NZ Histories. We applaud your mahi.”
