An Invite to our Past

We would like to introduce you to some of our staff and board members sharing their special connection with Waitangi.

Pita Tipene, Chairman of the Waitangi National Trust - The carvings on the Whare Rūnanga were completed at Motatau marae, where Pita hails from, and still stand tall today, symbolising an ongoing conversation of nationhood.

Jane Fletcher, Board Member - James Busby’s table stood in Jane’s childhood home for years, covered in books and coats. Now it stands in the Treaty House, uncovering some of our Nation’s most important history.

Ko Owen Taituha, Kairauhī - i tū hāngai te tupuna o Owen, a Marupō, i ngā taha e rua o te hītori o tō tātou whenua. I haina ia i Te Tiriti O Waitangi, ā, i te rima tua o muri mai ka whawhai i te taha o Hōne Heke i ngā Pakanga o Te Tai Tokerau.

Hei ako atu anō, tēnā toroa mai te Papawhenua o Te Tiriti o Waitangi ka rongo i ngā kōrero tērā i hanga i a Aotearoa.
