Whakapapa Story Template
Read: A story carried forward
At a wildlife centre in Aotearoa, Charlotte and Hana are preparing a short story about a tuatara called Kōhatu. They learn that Kōhatu hatched at the centre, while its parents came from an island sanctuary. Centre staff keep careful records of where the tuatara came from and how it is related to others. These records help people care for the animals and protect their future. Charlotte and Hana also talk about how a story can connect the past with the present. They decide not to invent details about the tuatara’s earlier generations. Instead, they will say what the records show, explain what is not known, and describe why protecting tuatara matters to them. Their story will be accurate, thoughtful and clear.
- As a way to understand relationships and connections across generations
- As the name of a tuatara’s food
- As a record of the centre’s opening hours
- As a list of made-up adventures
- tūpuna
