He Kōrero – a place to share our stories.
He Kōrero – proudly and positively Māori.
He Kōrero – helping bring our histories to life.
Pūrākau are tools that have been used for centuries by Māori to tell of amazing feats, heroic tales, romance, wins, losses, adventure, of connections. He Kōrero is about creating a digital home for the telling of pūrākau to the digital natives of today – our tamariki mokopuna.
“Basically, we just wanted to tell stories about how amazingly clever our people were. We saw an opportunity to reach an audience who are not likely to read old manuscripts and books, or perhaps don’t live close to their marae – people who are more likely to turn to digital content. I hope these stories make people feel proud about themselves and learn how amazing our tīpuna were.”
—Rocky Roberts, Chief Storyteller.
