Here is Molly and I’s something happened here responses for our postcard memory. One challenge that I had when completing the questions was reading cursive and trying to find answers for some of the questions! One thing I really enjoyed this task because of all the things I learnt and it was really awesome working with a friend.
We are learning that people adapted their technologies and tools to the new environment in New Zealand. WE also learnt that individuals and community have responded to international conflicts in a range of ways for a range of reasons. Maori cared for and transformed te taiao, and expressed their connection to place by naming the land and its features. Aotearoa’s participation international conflicts over times reflects our countries changing view of out place in the world and our identity.

The places we found on the north bank are:
- Te rua taniwha (Ben ohau)
- Ohau (Lake)
- The map contains a stream labelled Te Awamoko. Who is Te Awamoko to Ngāi Tahu?
Te Awamoko was an ancestor of the Ārai -te-uru waka that capsized near Shag Point on the Otago coastline. After capsizing lots of the passengers went onto the shore to look at the land. They needed to be back at their waka by daylight. Many passengers didn’t make it, including Te Awamoko.
- Kā Huru Manu holds the names and histories of places from before Pākēha people came to Aotearoa. Why is it important to have a map like Kā Huru Manu?
It is very important that we have a map like Kā Huru Manu because it provides the NZ places history to people. If we did not have a map like this then people would not know many significant pieces of history from NZ. This map is such an Use Kareao to find Te Huruhuru’s Map.awesome way to learn more of NZ history. It also has great photos of the places 🙂 !!!!
- Te Huruhuru provided Shortland with the first maps of lakes Wānaka, Hāwea and Whakatipu Waimāori (Wakatipu).
- Use Kareao to find Te Huruhuru’s Map.
Task 3: Understand the impact
- Te Wharekōrari had an intimate knowledge of the Waitaki Valley, and drew Mantell six maps of the Waitaki River and the lakes of Te Manahuna. Examine Te Wharekōrari’s Map in Kareao.

We think this is his red map
