Ideal as an introductory overview, this session traces the Māori story from early settlement through to today. Learners explore key turning points —migration, trade, colonisation, conflict, and cultural revival — and connect them into one powerful narrative. Through taonga, imagery, and interactive storytelling, students gain a sense of continuity, resilience, and pride. Teachers can choose this session as a stand-alone or as a prelude to the full Ngā Hītori o Aotearoa series.

Learning Outcomes:

• Develop a broad understanding of Māori history
• Identify major eras of change
• Appreciate the ongoing journey of Māori identity and resurgence
