Aotearoa Marae
This video takes us from Te Wānanga-o-Raukawa to Aotearoa marae. We meet friendly ducks at a comfort stop along the way. Aotearoa is one of two carved marae in the Taranaki area, and was completed in 2005. It is very beautiful, and we had a wonderful time there. The video just shows some moments … moments when I was sure I had permission to record, and was seeing something lovely.
Look for an interview later about some of the artwork inside the wharenui (meeting house) called “Ngakaunui,” where we slept the night of June 22.
