The English translation for “pakiaka” is the word “roots”. The roots are the very genesis of the tree. The branching roots anchor the tree from deep within Papatūānuku. As the saying goes, “without roots, the tree will fall”.
The role of this site is to bring together archives, whether written, audio or video; from times prior to the signing of the Township Agreement, to the years that followed, right up to the modern day. These resources are accessible for research, or simply to be viewed by members of our community. They are likened to the roots of our township that have been collated and stored digitally.
