Te Waka Tipua o Mataatua

Tūtapa mai nuku, tūtapa mai rangi, ōi, ka tākina te mauri o Mataatua. I waihangatia mai te waka Mātaatua i Ma’uke, i Meetia, i Te Aka Toka Manava, i Ngaru Kai Whatiwhati, i Parinuiterā.

Recite from below, recite from above, call out, chant the essence of Mataatua. The Mataatua waka canoe was created in Ma’uke, Me’eti’a, Te Aka Toka Manava, Ngaru Kai Whatiwhati, Parinuiterā.

Interactivity has been used to create an immersive experience with an original, image-rich narrative. Features include:
- Narration in te reo Māori perfectly synchronised with text
- Swipe to Read, Tap to Spell and Read aloud functions.
- Subordinate narration and text in English that can be toggled to access
- A record yourself function that enables readers to record their own or whānau narration, and overlay it in the app.

Te Waka Tipua o Mataatua was developed through the Ministry’s Te Aho Ngārahu fund. Te Aho Ngārahu was established in 2017 as an initiative to improve the access to quality te reo Māori localised curriculum resources to support ākonga, kaiako and Kāhui Ako learning in and through te reo Māori in both Māori medium and English medium settings.
