Te Reo pages on our website
For Te wiki o te reo Māori 2001 we launched a set of te reo
Māori pages on our website. As part of this development we have
moved to using unicode to deliver correctly macronised text, both
on the Te Reo pages, and in this year's edition of He Manawa o Te
Reo.
Ngā Taonga Māori Collections
Christchurch City Libraries has developed Ngā Taonga Māori
Collections throughout the 12 Community Libraries; each has a good
selection of language tools in different formats to assist you to
learn Te Reo Māori.
Ara Ipurangi mo te Iwi
Māori
is the name of the Library's Māori Internet Gateway pages
and offers many interesting links on Tikanga Māori.
Kohikohinga o Ngāi Tahu The Ngāi Tahu Collection, a new
area in the New Zealand Collection
This collection has been established to improve access to Ngāi
Tahu material and to further support our desire to build a
relationship with Mana Whenua. The collection is situated in the
New Zealand Collection on the 2nd floor of the Central
Library. These resources are taonga and as such will be reference
only.
In recognition of this area, Ngāi Tahu has gifted to us a collection
of photographs taken at parliament during the passage of the Ngāi
Tahu Claim Settlement Act. These photographs clearly show the emotion,
shared by the Ngāi Tahu people for their momentous occasion
and add an important human dimension to 'Kohikohinga o Ngāi
Tahu '
Tī Kōuka Whenua: Ti kouka - a symbol of our city
Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region has a vibrant past
of which few people are aware. There are only minimal visual reminders
of any history prior to colonial settlement. However as Tī Kōuka
Whenua will enable you to discover, we have a rich and
intriguing past that extends back many hundreds of years before 1850.
Increasing awareness and knowledge of this past is the primary aim
of this website. We hope that it will enrich your understanding of
your surroundings and enhance your current perceptions of the city
in which we live.
There are many sites of significance found throughout Ōtautahi
(Christchurch City), Horomaka (Banks Peninsula) and the wider Canterbury
region. This website will provide some insights into a selection
of these places.
Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa
