“Whakapapa runs deep. What happened to our families was a burden and responsibility we carried with us across time and space. Now we want to rekindle the fires for all of our people that left and bring them back home to make the whānau whole.”

Contact and connection
Reconnecting whānau to whenua is integral to Making the Tenths Whole.
We are working to find and reconnect whānau who whakapapa to the Nelson Tenths and to empower them to learn more about their whakapapa and history.
If you believe you whakapapa to any of the tūpuna identified on the Native Land Court list, 1893, we warmly welcome you to make contact via the form below.
Your information will be added to our contact list to keep you informed as this kaupapa progresses.
