SOLD: Beautiful Happyzine

We Happyziners think this is a groovy idea!

Find your way to the tribal marae of Aotearoa New Zealand – through maps, information and photographs.

Marae are the centres of Māori identity and activity. Māori Maps provides a nationwide map of marae, with photos of each marae, contact and background information, and photographs. There are also restricted access areas that marae  themselves can use to store their data and photos.

This site contains information for the principal ancestral marae across Aotearoa, numbering almost 750 marae. Work is ongoing to add marae that are not yet listed, and to deepen the information presented for each location.

Māori Maps is a portal to the marae of Aotearoa. The site offers not only map location and directions to the gateway of every tribal marae in Aotearoa, but also a digital gateway by which visitors can access sites or service run by marae. Māori Maps recommends that anyone who wishes to go beyond kūwaha — to walk onto marae, be formally hosted or obtain deeper marae knowledge  — should engage directly with the marae community and its elders.

Go to Maori Maps.
