Maori House of Learning in Roturoa
Hatupatu
Named after Hatupatu, a Maori ancestor who was chased by a magical bird woman to the Te Whakarewarewa Valley, this beautifully decorated structure is a traditional house of learning (a whare runanga).
Hatupatu is the modern equivalent of a school or university where knowledge – includes Maori history, genealogy, and protocols – is transferred to the next generation.
