What the directories say

The waka-shaped whare on Ara's city campus — the tertiary institution's Māori gathering space, opened in 1995 and still hosting community hui.

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.

The roll beside it

The kāinga and pā the record names nearest it, Puāri Pā (1.1 km) · Ōtautahi — Tautahi's kāinga (1.5 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.
