Free Tamaki Experience novel with each booking at Tamaki Maori Village
Today's One Day Deal is a free Tamaki Experience novel with each booking at Tamaki Maori Village
Check out http://www.rotoruaonedaydeal.co.nz/
It is a time long before Europeans have arrived in New Zealand. The migration from Hawaiiki undertaken by Uitara I is now folklore – told and retold for hundreds of years. With each generation it is embellished further- so much so; that those earliest explorers have now reached god-like status. Pacific ways have been shed and the still new Maori culture is developing in its own unique rituals and traditions. Tribes are formed, land is being claimed, alliances forged and warfare is rife as age-old scores are being settled with battle.
It is in this context that we approach the ancient forest village of the Ngati Tama people at Tumunui and come face to face with a revered sect of warriors whose prowess is famed throughout Aotearoa. We meet Uitara IV. He is a very young man, but his warrior lineage coupled with a childhood under the tutelage of the old tohunga (high priest) mean he is well accomplished in the sacred warrior traditional and has countless victories to his name. Uitara IV is ambitious and hungry for war, so when news arrives that the fearless musket warrior Te Ao Huri is en route and recruiting warriors for a rampage in to the South, Uitara IV is eager to enlist.
We are led by the storyteller through this 3.5 hour evening encounter. Share in ancient ceremonies of welcome and of farewell and experience the lifestyles and warrior traditions of pre-European times. Journey of Ages tells the story of Uitara IV’s campaign for a place within a rebel warrior cult, destined to change Aotearoa forever. It culminates in a traditional farewell feast of earth-cooked hangi, as Uitara and other characters you have met prepare to leave with their new found leader.
An amazing re-enactment – based on actual events from our history, with real characters, traditional arts & crafts, powerful song & dance and authentic Hangi Feast
