Pātaka kōrero

digital archive

ngāti huia ki matau

whakapupuri ngā kōrero me ngā hītori mō ngā uri whakaheke

Pātaka Kōrero has been created to securely store and preserve our digital taonga.  It has given our whānau, marae and hapū, the opportunity to come together, wānanga and discuss kaupapa that are important to us.

Funded by the Ministry of Culture & Heritage  and the Department of Internal Affairs, our marae now has its own storage network and hardware infrastructure.

Pātaka Kōrero allowed us to create 6 episodes of digital footage that touches on various points in our history.

This also included the use of drone technology to capture  sites of significance that we have been able to use in the recordings as visual points of references.

Those who participated in the episodes and recordings acknowledge that there maybe varying perspectives and have provided their ‘offerings’, based on information and research they have conducted while also sharing ngā taonga tuku iho – information passed down.

To access our marae Pātaka Kōrero, you must first register with Matau. Click HERE to start the registration process.

Matau marae kōmiti would like to acknowledge all of those who participated  in this kaupapa.

To our whānau who turned up to support, share kōrero, allowed to be filmed, those who cooked our kai and cleaned our marae during and after our wānanga, ka rere ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa.

There are three (3) steps to our marae registration process.

  1. Create a website user account on our marae website by completing a basic sign-up form.
  2. Review ‘Ngā Tīkanga ō Pātaka Kōrero’. A summary of tīkanga to be observed while using Pātaka Kōrero and complete a short quiz based on your understanding of this.
  3. Once you have completed Ngā Tīkanga ō Pātaka Kōrero, you will be automagically re-directed  to the online marae registration form for completion. 

To register with the marae, you must whakapapa to Matau. Once your application to register is submitted,  your whakapapa will be verified at our marae meeting.

You maybe asked to provide further information or attend the monthly marae meeting if required.

Once your registration application has been verified and approved, you will receive a final email confirmation.

The confirmation email will also contain a link to access Pātaka Kōrero.

Pātaka Kōrero stores our digital taonga and it is expected that all registered members  respect our digital space and taonga.  As a registered member, you will have access to videos, photo gallery, document library and a marae forum.

You will also have access to your website user account where you can change your password, update details and access/review your submitted registration form.

The marae kōmiti reserves the right to revoke access should the platform administrator detect suspicious activity.

We still like to do things ‘old school’. If you have not booked our marae before, or live out of the region please attend the monthly marae meeting or send a representative to come on your behalf. We always like to meet those who make bookings. This also allows us to give you some ‘in’s and out’s’ of operating the marae.
