This experience takes students through a reenactment of the kōrero between NZ Company representatives and Tangata / Mana Whenua of Te Tauihu.
This is an interactive Story Telling of the heroic feats of local woman, Huria Matenga, her husband Hemi and local man Hohapata Kahupuku, who saved 9 lives from the Delaware Shipwreck in 1863.
