Tūrangawaewae

We have been exploring our own Tūrangawaewae. We have been thinking about where we grew up, where our parents grew up, our culture, our values and interests. 

Tūranga - Position

Waewae - Feet

Tūrangawaewae is translated as the place where we stand!

Tūrangawaewae are places where we feel empowered and connected. They are our place in the world and our home. 

A person’s marae is often seen as their Tūrangawaewae.
