Über diese App

Turikatuku: Te Wahine Taki Wairua (Turikatuki: The Woman Who Inspired the Soul) tells the story of Turikatuku, a prominent female puhi from Whangaroa. It documents Turikatuku’s whakapapa, the history of her people, and important events that impacted them in the early 1800s.

Turikatuku's story is told in te reo Māori and English, with voice-overs in both languages read by 2 of her descendants Te Whai Mātauranga Maiporo Smith and Whetu-Iti Doreen Silver. The app has 3 chapters and is aimed for reading ages 8–12 years.

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Whangaroa researched and wrote the narrative for the app in partnership with the National Library of New Zealand. The app was developed as part of the Increasingly Digital Project, which explored the access and use of Aotearoa New Zealand teaching and learning resources. The National Library of New Zealand led this project, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Ministry for Culture and Heritage, and other partners.
