Te WÄnanga-o-Raukawa is a higher education institution teaching from the MÄori world view. We were fortunate enough to spend the night there and get to know some of the faculty. The campus is the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. It is obviously loved and cared for a great deal. It is smoke-free at the last request of a woman who said “learn from my mistake.” Not many Pakeha study there, but would be lucky to do so.
This video shows some of the drive from Wellington to Otaki, and a few photos of what we saw there. Jo Tito, who drove the van for us, took the photos, not me. The music is from a CD Noah bought called New Zealand in Song, but I don’t know who the artists are. I picked it because the length was right, and because we felt very welcome at Te WÄnanga-o-Raukawa.
