Homesteads Makiha Whānau
The Makiha Homestead has long been vacant and the surrounding whenua of Ngatahuna in Waima hasn’t had full-time occupants for many years. In light of covid-19, whānau have felt the pull to return home. This sparked their longstanding desire to rebuild their homestead and develop a papakāinga on their whenua. With the guidance of tohunga Rereata Makiha, the whānau held a ceremony for their whānau whare, conducting karakia at dawn before dismantling the house as a family and burying it in preparation for a rebuild. Although it stirred emotions and brought back memories for family members, this marks the beginning of a new era for the Makiha whānau.
Stories of homesteads through the eyes of the ahi kā that are maintaining and strengthening Māori ties to their tūrangawaewae.
