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.
In the archive
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, Puāri Pā (2.4 km) · Ōtautahi — Tautahi's kāinga (2.4 km).
Nearest on the roll by distance, proximity, not kinship; each marae’s own kōrero lives with its people.

Remembered on the ground 2
Plaques standing within 300 m of the point, the ground’s own footnotes.
The reports nearby
510 council reports pinned within 250 m of the place, most often Rubbish & dumping and Graffiti & vandalism, 415 with a photograph. A pin is where a reporter stood, not a claim about the place itself.

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.
