Kaiarahi – Prince Davis (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei)
Gather at the Waharoa in Aotea Square for an introduction and karakia. Commence Waihoroitu kōrero as you proceed down the Waihorotiu valley. Walk up Wellesley Street to Albert Park to kōrero about Horotiu Pā, then down to Toi o Tāmaki to kōrero about the whare, its collections within and the Crystal Waka. Head down Khartoum Place and along High Street to the Chris Booth sculpture, then up Victoria Street West highlighting the forthcoming Te Ha Noa and finish up at Elliot Street to kōrero to Taurima and wrap up with waiata and karakia.
Prince Davis, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei guide, will welcome you and walk you through the last millennium of the life of the Waihorotiu valley (Queen Street) and how these histories and ecologies of place are recognised and live on in the midtown area of our contemporary city centre.
