The Longest Place Name Reviews

 

Gill Tracy 26/04/2025

I loved my Te Haerenga experience. It was inspiring to see the mahi you have all been doing and your plans for the future.

I especially enjoyed the ngahere on the way up, and it will be lovely to see it protected with a fence.
Te Tau Mata was such a great place to experience, especially on ANZAC Day, as a place of peace and healing. The views on a sunny day were stunning.

It's hard to describe how thankful we are for yesterday. The manaaki, whanaungatanga, and aroha shown to us and our Fijian sisters was beyond words. We are so blessed that you all were able to share your taonga Tamatea with us and in such a way that everlasting memories have been created.
I am sitting here trying to write some real inspiring words but all I can hear are the cars rushing by getting to work. It's way different from yesterday when the ears just tuned into the Taiao and hearing all the animal life like the tui when we were sitting in the marataka sharing and calves bellowing away when Henare gave us a mihi whakatau lol. The weather was stunning, and it must've been due to all the karakia I had been doing all week lol

and people to life for future generations.

 

Support.pngThe Longest Place Name Project is more than a story. It is a place grounded in connection, indigenous knowledge, environmental protection, and the sharing of one of the world’s most unique cultural treasures, the place known as Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

Through our digital stories, downloadable PDFs, and cultural storytelling resources, we are building support for a long-term eco-cultural tourism vision that reconnects people to the land, the stories of our ancestors, and the living environment that surrounds this special place.

Every purchase helps us continue this work. Funds raised support the development of cultural tourism experiences, biodiversity protection, storytelling projects, educational resources, native planting initiatives, and the preservation of local histories and mātauranga for future generations.

This kaupapa is independent, community-driven, and built through the support of people who believe Indigenous stories, environments, and knowledge systems matter.

When you purchase a story, you are not simply buying a PDF. You are helping to Protect and restore the land, Share Māori stories with the world, Support Indigenous-led tourism development, Preserve cultural knowledge for future generations, Create opportunities for whānau and local communities, and Build a regenerative future grounded in culture and environment

Even a small contribution helps strengthen the kaupapa and move this vision closer to reality.


Together, we can transform storytelling into restoration, culture into connection, and tourism into something that uplifts both people and place
