Local History

For our rich task this term we are looking at the community, and the sense of belonging to one. The belief of whanaungatanga is taking care of each other within a community, and that a community is only as strong as the individuals in it, who work to create a place where everyone if valued, honoured and respected.

We will be looking at our local community and the history of Maori in the Mt Eden area, specifically the history of Maungawhau and Maungakiekie. After we've collected information based on all the questions we have, we will be creating a museum display, for kids, by kids. We want to share all the amazing information we will find out about our community.

Please if you can help us with any information we would greatly appreciate it. Also take the time to check out the links and possibly even go to the museum, Huia Lodge or any other sources of information you know about.
