This activity book was created in collaboration with Te Ahiwaru’s eco-tourism team and is used when hosting and educating primary school groups.
Its simple activities are designed to unfurl the whakapapa of Te Ihu o Mataoho (Ihumaatao). Students are invited to:
- locate significant landmarks in and around the whenua
- colour in kai that can be grown and harvested locally; highlighting the importance of mahi maara
- fill in the gaps of a pūrakau that recounts the arrival of their tīpuna Hape from Hawaiiki

The concepts found inside this pukapuka ngohe provide insight into ways Māori view and understand the world — and how tikanga are practiced in everyday life. Furthermore, it acknowledges the role of Ihumaatao as kaitiaki and their rich, enduring whakapapa with te taiao.
