Description

Song of Waitaha repairs the torn fabric of our past and opens doors into the future. The Histories tell of a society where many peoples walked in harmony with each other. It shows how they honoured the land and waters to sustain life - harvesting birds and fish to increase the numbers, cutting tall trees for waka and leaving the forest stronger, carving stone without breaking its spirit, respecting the rivers - keeping the environment in balance. This treasure from the days of the ancestors, journeys out of timeless realms where the people and the land were one beneath the stars.
