About Us

For many years I have been studying the transmission of Nga Puhi knowledge divided into three inter-connected parts:

  • * The whakapapa of Nga Puhi
    * The oral history of Nga Puhi
    * The collecting of Nga Puhi literature

Whakapapa was something done by my kuia day and night and it is what I was brought up with. I come from several generations of whakapapa people. For many years I have been doing this work on weekends or part time. Now, I would like to work in whakapapa and research full time.

When we recount the names of our ancestors and when we celebrate their achievements they and their memory come alive. This is why I have been writing books and recounting their names and korero on our marae and at every opportunity. The Internet is an extension of this.

I am mereley continuing the work of Nga Puhi scholars like Kaka, a Hare Hongi, Ngakuru Pene Haare, Hone Rameka, Tuhirangi, Te Ripi and many others.

As most Nga Puhi live overseas or in the cities it is virtually impossible for them to access their whakapapa. Our way is the quick way because we will do your whakapapa research for you.
