Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga commissioned this work from Learning Media to increase understanding of historic heritage. A core outcome of our work is to increase understanding and appreciation of New Zealand's pre-historic and historic heritage places. Encouraging children to learn about and engage with heritage is seen as a key part of that work.
