WHENUA FILMS was started in early 2004 by Cliff Curtis and Ainsley Gardiner. Cliff, a talented character actor, came home from Hollywood with the expectation that after ten years away the Maori Film Industry would be flourishing with a diverse range of characters for him to play!! The reality inspired him to start a company devoted to creating a home for indigenous storytelling, that would in turn encourage an aspect of the industry informed by tikanga Maori.

Whariki is a Maori health research group working in a process of partnership with the Alcohol & Public Health Research Unit at the University of Auckland. The name Whariki arose from the above whakatauki which expresses part of the kaupapa of the group.
One understanding of this whakatauki is that health involves the wairua, tinana and hinengaro and in order for us to pursue health, we must respect all elements. A further meaning for us, as researchers, is that in order for doors and windows to be opened we must tread gently. We cannot ask for information without respecting those who chose to share and without understanding our responsibilities and accountabilities.

Whangarei is a thriving, modern and vibrant city set within idyllic natural surroundings, nestling into the hills that overlook the picturesque harbour. The region features fertile farmland, orchards, forests and spectacular coastline with some of the country's finest beaches.
The city's full name is ‘Whangarei Terenga Paraoa' which can be literally translated as the ‘swimming place of the whales'. This translates further to mean ‘the meeting place of the chiefs', since the whale-bone mere was a weapon of chiefly status, and refers to the inter-tribal wars of the 1800s when Whangarei was a meeting place for all the great Maori chiefs of the district.
