Whakapapa of rocks and stones

Ki tā te Māori, he whānau te ao katoa. Kei roto i ngā whakapapa me ngā kōrero tuku iho e whakamāramatia ana ngā paiherenga o tēnei whānau. He whakapapa tēnei ngā uri o Tāne (atua o te ngahere) rāua ko Hine-tū-pari-maunga (atua o ngā maunga me ngā pari). E ai ki te tikanga whakaaro ō mua he uri te kōhatu, te wai, te one, ā, kei te whakapapa nei kitea ai tērā āhuatanga.

Whakapapa mai i ‘Te ao tu roa – Maori natural history educational resource’, nā te whare taonga o Tāmaki-makau-rau.
