Te Tāinga o te Riu

Te Tāinga o te Riu is an educational resource that shares an authentic Māori story of traditional life told in the unique Ngāti Porou dialect.

Te Tāinga o te Riu holds profound significance for the Ngāti Porou, serving not only as the vessel that brought their ancestors to their current home but also as a narrative vessel recounting the journey of the kūmara to the East Coast of Aotearoa.

The App brings to life the story of a successful Māori leader who helped create the conditions for innovation and success among his descendants.

Interactivity has been used to create an immersive experience with an original, image-rich narrative.
