Shared Turanga iwi stories a winner
A collaborative project by four Turanga iwi to redevelop a Gisborne waterfront parkwon the top prize in this year's Local Government New Zealand EXCELLENCE Awards.
Tupapa – Our Stand. Our Story involved Ngati Oneone, Rongowhakaata, Te Aitanga a Mahaki, Ngai Tamanuhiri and Gisborne District Council.
Mayor Meng Foon says the bilingual, multimedia heritage experience tells local iwi and hapu stories from their own perspective.
He says it was entered in the competition because of the social, economic and cultural benefit it promotes.
