Cultural Heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation. It includes customs, games, practices, language, objects, arts and crafts, and values.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, we are lucky to have a bi-cultural heritage with the original inhabitants (tangata whenua) having a rich culture which we all enjoy from waiata (songs) and te reo (the treasure of the Māori langauge), to poi, koru and much much more. SPiCE would like to warmly thank Te-Rina Gregory-Hawke of Ngāti Whātua for creating the beautiful Māori resources on this page for us all to enjoy.
