Teacher Resources

Explore Ngāi Tahu specific articles, videos and resources, as well as links to other websites that focus on the places, people, events, and flora/fauna of the Ngāi Tahu takiwā. We will continue to add more resources in the future and encourage you to continue visit this page to support your work. We ask that you acknowledge your sources within the classroom environment.

We encourage educators to continue to develop relationships with mana whenua and connect with local papatipu rūnanga and marae for information on significant cultural contexts in your own area.
