라우쿠라 찬키-파에아 (왼쪽) 와 메도우 허시 (오른쪽) 가 랑가타히 상을 수상했다.

웰링턴의 한 학교 학생들이 마오리 언어와 지식을 활용해 중요 유적지를 보호하고 방문객들에게 현지 정보를 알리고 있다.2021년에 테 쿠라 카우파파 마오리 오 응아 모코푸나의 학생들이 시작한 이 독특한 사업은 방문객들에게 마라에누이 지역 (세아툰) 을 안내하며 해안을 따라 펼쳐진 장소의 이야기와 역사를 들려줍니다.

이들이 운영하는 Ngā Tapuwae a-Taraika는 응아 토후 레오 마오리 2024에서 랑가타히 상을 수상했습니다.이곳에는 다른 학교 학생들과 웨타 FX 팀 멤버 등 다양한 방문객이 찾아왔습니다.

고등학생인 라우쿠라 찬키-파에아와 메도우 허세이는 학교 앞 해변에 서서 이 지역의 몇몇 유적지를 가리키고 있다.그러한 유적지 중 하나는 전설적인 탐험가 쿠페가 이 지역에 처음 발을 디딘 곳을 표시하는 바위인 테 투랑가 오 쿠페 (Te Tūranga o Kupe) 입니다.

그들의 사업 이름은 조상 타라이카 (Taraika) 의 이름을 따서 지었지만, 메도우는 쿠페가 그들의 이야기에서 가장 자주 언급되는 조상이라고 말했습니다.쿠페는 웰링턴 항구, 마티우 (솜스 섬), 마카로 (워드 섬), 모코푸나에 있는 섬의 이름을 지은 것으로 알려져 있습니다.

라우쿠라는 한때 이 지역에서 가장 큰 파 (마오리 요새 마을) 였던 웨투카이랑기 (Whetukairangi) 가 있었던 곳을 가리키는데, 이곳에는 현재 우저 베이 학교가 들어서 있다.그녀는 이 투어에서 가장 좋아하는 부분은 방문객들을 데리고 와히네 선박이 테탕기항가 아 쿠페 (바렛 리프) 를 강타한 곳을 구경할 때라고 했다.

메도우는 이 역사가 잊혀지지 않도록 해야 할 책임이 있다고 말했습니다. 그래서 방문객들이 새로운 것을 배울 때 보는 것을 좋아한다고 합니다.라우쿠라는 웰링턴에서 자란 방문객을 포함해 많은 방문객들이 이 장소에 대해 처음 들어봤다고 덧붙였다.하지만 그녀는 그 이야기를 가족이나 친구들에게 전할 수 있다는 뜻이라고 말했다.

라우쿠라는 상을 수상한 후 뉴질랜드 전역의 마오리 사람들에게 “세계를 마오리어와 풍습으로 가득 채울 힘을 찾아라”고 격려했다.
