What the directories say
The national marae — the only one of its kind, built for Māori of every tribe living in the city. Its wharenui Aoraki opened in May 1990; after the February 2011 earthquake the marae hosted 26 recovery agencies and a sitting District Court for two years.
The marae’s own kōrero
The marae’s own telling belongs to its people, these doors go to their sites and the directories they speak through.

A document a search names is a lead worth reading, not a claim the site makes.
The roll beside it
The kāinga and pā the record names nearest it, Ōtautahi — Tautahi's kāinga (4.6 km) · Puāri Pā (5.1 km).
Nearest on the roll by distance, proximity, not kinship; each marae’s own kōrero lives with its people.

A directory, not a history: name, wharenui, affiliation and address as each rūnanga and the public directories state them. A listing is a lead, not a claim, each marae’s own kōrero lives with its people and is linked, not retold, here. Coordinates pin the marae site as the map layers and directories place it.
