Tuia250 ki Taitokerau
He maimai aroha,
he rangatira tārai
waka
He tangata hūmarie, ko Tā Hekenukumai
Herenga tārai ka tau
He waka hourua ka titoki
Tuia 250 ki Taitokerau honours and pays tribute to Tā
Hekenukumai Puhipi (Hec Busby) of Te Uri o Hina, Te
Rarawa and Ngāti Kahu. This story is an untold story if
it does not include master canoe carver, Tā Hek and his
lifetime of leadership in the revival of waka building and
celestial navigation in Aotearoa and the Pacific.
Tā Hek’s legacy remains with the many people he
navigated and voyaged with, and in the more than 50
waka he built, of which many were built in Hawai’i.
One of the many achievements of Tā Hek’s was fulfilling
the wero (challenge) laid down by Sir James Henare. It
was 7 December 1985 and Hōkūle’a, the Hawai’ian waka
anchored off Waitangi, after voyaging just 16 days from
Rarotonga.
Sir James spoke of the Hawai’ians having navigated their
way to Aotearoa in the same manner as Māori navigators
had in the past, that it was time for Māori to return to the
moana and especially that Māori build a waka of their
own and sail to Hawai’i.
Ten years later, Tā Hek, his waka Te Aurere and his skilled
crew using celestial navigation fulfilled that challenge on
7 May 1995.

Tuia - Encounters 250
Aotearoa New Zealand marks 250 years since the onshore encounters between Māori and
Pākehā, with a national commemoration called Tuia – Encounters 250 (Tuia).
Tuia reflects on the extraordinary voyaging traditions and cultures of Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (the
Pacific), the exceptional feats of Pacific voyagers, their mātauranga (knowledge), innovation and
non-instrument navigation prowess and their decision to settle in Aotearoa many generations
ago.

TE WHEIAO
3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
Te Wheiao centers on a 230 year old Hawaiian wa’a (outrigger canoe) gifted to the Smithsonian
MÄTAURANGA
in 1888 by Queen Kapi’olani of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Derek Kawiti, a Victoria University Senior Lecturer in Computational Design in the School of
Architecture and researcher for the MacDiarmid Institute is leading a team using 3D printing
technologies to ‘replicate’ the wa’a at full scale. The wa’a was scanned in 2018 and the digital
model was made available with permission by its Hawaiian traditional owners. The team is using
this data to create printed models using a composite wood-based polymer bio-plastic. The
project provides an interesting tension around the use of data, large scale digital fabrication in
relation to customary indigenous frameworks.
