Rotoaira resonates still with stories drawn from the mystical realms of ancient times: of mountains that lived, loved and battled; of taniwha who emerged from the mountain’s bowels to reside as caretaker for centuries in its water; of the venerated tohunga Ngatoroirangi who bestowed upon it the distinction of being named for his mole thereby ensuring the legacy of his descendants.
Rotoaira resonates still with the joys and the sorrows of the people who over the many ages, lived, loved and battled there; their spiritual, cultural and social being, their every aspect-physical, mental and emotional, shaped and sustained by their relationship to the lake, to the mountains, the guardians of these realms and to their ancestors who guided their every footstep.
Rotoaira resonates still with the joys and the sorrows of the people who witnessed the first guns into the rohe; the first missionaries with their bibles, their pens and their ploughs; the first surveyors with their instruments; the beginnings of an encroachment that would challenge and, in a very short time, radically change the very fibre of their existence to a point of no return.
