STORIES & HISTORIES

With an understanding of our past society, we can make better decisions about its present and future. Societal ‘self-awareness’ is crucial to our collective life, today and tomorrow. Our history is complex, riveting, traumatic, sad, and inspirational. We want to be moved to deeper thought and action regarding the implications of the story for ourselves individually, our communities, and our national life.

Karuwhā exists because without our history, our ‘now’ is pretty disjointed.
Here is some in-depth research and resources for those wanting a deeper understanding of our Aotearoa New Zealand story.

ARCHIVES

We wanted to provide access to some original historical documents – many of them only available in archives – to get the historical juices flowing. There is nothing like reading history from the physical pages of those who made history. So here is the Aotearoa New Zealand story ‘in its own words’. Like other pages in this section, we will be adding to these archival documents over time.
