Exhibition | Mīharo: Legends of our lands - our people, our places, our stories at Te Atamira
Exhibition opening: Wednesday 25 September, 5:30pm | MANAAKI NUI
Māori and Pasifika peoples have always passed on stories to children to ensure the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, understandings, traditions and wisdom from their ancestors. Through this practice, accounts of worldview perspectives, legendary ancestors, historical events, inspiring people, stories of how places were formed and named, become implanted in a child’s mind. They help to explain human existence, characteristics of human nature, the environment and the basis of a cultural worldview. They are an integral part of cultural identity and the use of imagery and symbolism are woven within these precious stories. Mīharo is so proud to see how our Early Childhood Centres, Schools, Mana Whenua and communities have worked together to interpret and present this knowledge through the arts.
