Free local storytelling and walking experience
Active Whakapapa is a one of a kind experience. Enjoy a leisurely walk and learn about the connection Māori have to the whenua (land) and Taiao (environment) through the sharing of Iwi stories, narratives and history.
Active Whakapapa aims to encourage correct pronunciation of traditional place names and educates about the deeper meaning behind each name. We want to contribute to more Te Reo Māori being spoken, heard and seen in our parks and green spaces. Book your free tickets at http://aucklandexperiences.co.nz/
Active Whakapapa is supported by the Local Activation Fund Programme, administered by Tataki Auckland Unlimited on behalf of the New Zealand Government.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
