Taku Tūrangawaewae

Nau mai ki te taupānga (App) Taku Turangawaewae The Taku Turangawaewae app is a mobile application that allows Maori to record and update their own whakapapa and turangawaewae. Some features of the app are: - The app allows the user to record and build a family tree of whanau members (Past and Present). As many generations as you can think of. - Ability to build a full profile of each whanau member (upload photos, korero, videos) that will last forever. - Information is kept private with a personal login and password created by the user. What differentiates this app from other family tree apps is, within each individual whanau member the app also allows the user to record the: - Waka - Iwi - Hapu - Maunga - Awa/Moana - Wharenui - Marae - Wharekai -Tipuna/Rangatira and - Urupa for each whanau member. Photos, Stories, Haka/Waiata, Video Clips, and links to other web-site pages can also be saved within the profile of each whanau member. For example, Iwi web pages and You Tube videos. Specific information about each subject can also be recorded. For example, pakiwaitara or specific korero about the whakairo or tukutuku patterns of a wharenui or waiata and haka about a maunga or waka. The app can also be useful to help our tamariki in kura when it comes to learning their pepeha or reciting their whakapapa to the class.

The subscription will be charged to your card through your iTunes Account. Your subscription will automatically renew every month unless canceled.
