Members of the three marae (Tauwhara, Parawhenua, and Rawhitiroa) discussing conservation and ongoing care of the taonga tūturu with conservator Dilys Johns. In April, we facilitated the successful return of 37 taonga tūturu to three Northland marae after many of them received conservation treatment due to the fragile condition they were found in. Alongside this the Heritage EQUIP programme assisted private building owners to earthquake strengthen buildings with $2 million in grants from Napier and Whanganui to Hurunui and Oamaru.Īs guardians of taonga we organised interim care for 320 newly found taonga tūturu.

Through tā tātou kaupapa matua we also aim to champion participation in arts and culture for our diverse society, invest in core infrastructure to provide people with these opportunities, and help care for the nation’s taonga and identity. Next year’s national commemoration Tuia Encounters 250 will take a broad and inclusive view to acknowledge both the pivotal moment in our nation’s history when Māori and Europeans held their first onshore meetings 250 years ago, and the feats of the Pacific voyagers who reached and settled here centuries earlier. Tā tātou kaupapa matua (What matters to us) includes creating opportunities for New Zealanders to engage with Māori culture. And progress with the Te Tai Treaty Settlement Stories project will see the launch later this year of the first iwi audio-visual resources, focusing on the Ngāti Awa settlement story. In support of Suffrage 125 we published new online content, such as History of Women, the Vote and Activism in New Zealand, on our NZHistory site. Feedback indicates it’s been a huge success with teachers and students. This year the Walking with an Anzac educational resource, including discovery boxes containing First World War ephemera and digital support information, was distributed to 1000 classrooms. The WW100 Programme has helped people engage with the events of the First World War, a war which had a deep and lingering impact on our society. Through Tō mātou arotahi (Our direction) we aim to connect more people with New Zealand’s culture. Together with new values and behaviours – manawanui (act courageously), matakite (see ahead), mana tāngata (care together), mahara (think, be curious) and manaaki (serve with pride) this describes our collective understanding of what we do and how we do it. We established a new common purpose: He ngākau titikaha, he hononga tangata – promoting a confident and connected culture. The last 12 months have included a focus on strengthening our own organisation to champion and deliver on this. Culture is also vital to individual and community wellbeing and resilience, creating thriving and connected communities.
