I thought I'd just run this pretty scenic shot from Port Levy on Banks Peninsular today. Known as Koukourarata in Maori it's home to an idyllically-place Tutehuarewa Marae that sits on the rise just to the left of the land end of this wharf. I've written about Koukourarata a good number of times before and you can see those postings by clicking on the word Koukourarata in the label line below this post. www.ngaitahu.iwi.nzThis blog provides a visual-verbal snapshot of Maori culture and contemporary Maori lifestyles in modern New Zealand. It presents my own experiences and observations of Maori culture and is not intended in anyway to be the definitive view on all things Maori, but rather an introduction for those who want to know more about Maori culture and its place in everyday bicultural New Zealand.
