I have always had an interest in the History of Māori, especially of Murihiku Māori.
Recently a rōpu (group) of Oraka-Aparima Runaka members went for a history hikoi around a well known area in Murihiku (Southland)
We were fortunate to have an archeologist with us who showed us some 'old' Māori occupation sites and middens.
This picture shows shattered fire stones and the remains of kai - bones and shell.
The weather was excellent and we all learned a lot about 'our' past.
