rich, image and video based website that showcased the iwi\u2019s history, narratives, and identity through modern digital storytelling. This large-scale project required end-to-end project management, coordination across multiple creative teams, and the weaving together of traditional narratives with digital innovation. We worked closely with Ng\u0101ti Manawa kaum\u0101tua, historians, and iwi representatives to ensure the integrity of the k\u014drero, carefully translating ancestral knowledge into compelling online formats while maintaining cultural accuracy and respect. This approach ensured the project not only looked visually striking but also served as a living digital archive for current and future generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d7b216 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d7b216\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f4d72a\" data-id=\"5f4d72a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-625b551 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"625b551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Project<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1c2b014\" data-id=\"1c2b014\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77671f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77671f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"1140\">As part of the mahi, we developed 14 full animations of Ng\u0101 Taniwha o Ng\u0101ti Manawa (with full sound in te reo M\u0101ori and te reo P\u0101keh\u0101) to bring traditional stories to life in an engaging and visually powerful way. We also created 10 animated GIFs of Ng\u0101 Ariki o Ng\u0101ti Manawa, based on their ancestors, ensuring these narratives could be shared in both formal and everyday online spaces. In addition, we produced the full content for the website, aligning storytelling, imagery, and design into a coherent and culturally grounded digital presence.<\/p><p data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"2037\">By combining design, animation, illustration, and content development, Native Industries provided Ng\u0101ti Manawa with an innovative digital platform that both honours their whakapapa and connects with audiences across Aotearoa and beyond. The outcome is Te Hekenga o Tangiharuru, a visually striking, wh\u0101nau-friendly resource that positions Ng\u0101ti Manawa at the forefront of iwi-led digital storytelling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1309c56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1309c56\" data-element_type=\"widget\"
