Welcome to the home of Te Pouhere Korero. We are a broad collective of Maori colleagues interested in history, established in 1992 at an inaugural hui at Rongopai Marae near Gisborne, Aotearoa New Zealand.
He Panui: Next year’s He Rau Tumu Korero, Maori historians’ symposium, will be held on 4-6 July 2012 at EIT, Taradale. Watch this space for details…
On Wednesday 16 November 2011, Te Pouhere Korero hosted the inaugural Te Wiremu Maihi Te Rangikaheke Memorial Lecture as part of the NZHA conference. Dr Apirana Mahuika will gave the lecture at what was a fantastic event for everyone concerned. We are pleased to know that the lecture will be a permanent fixture at future NZHA conferences.
Elsewhere on our site you can learn about the symposium He Rau Tumu Korero 2011, an exciting gathering of korero on Maori pasts, held in June.
You can also find information on our journal Te Pouhere Korero, now in its 5th edition, with submissions for the 6th edition currently being accepted.
My interest is Whakapapa. I am the “caretaker” of manuscripts left by my Koroua – Raureti Te Huia who was involved with Gavin Gifford during the early 1900′s at Te Awamutu , with such interests as Te Hokio Press / Uenuku / Historic Places Trust/ Whakapapa and historical links prior to the arrival of the Pakeha and later those aspects which involved the New Zealand Wars / confiscation etc.
I would like to be advised of any seminars etc that you may hold.
Kia Ora.
