Māori Community
[edit | edit source]Māori Community is a community page on LovedForever for preserving and sharing the lives, memories, stories and family histories of Māori people and whānau.
LovedForever provides a place where families can preserve the stories of their loved ones, share photographs and memories, and help keep family history and whakapapa available for future generations.
About the Māori Community
[edit | edit source]Māori are the tangata whenua, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Māori culture and identity are closely connected to whānau (family), whakapapa (genealogy), whenua (land), hapū (sub-tribe) and iwi (tribe).
Māori traditions, language, history and cultural knowledge form an important part of the heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand.
LovedForever provides a place where Māori families and whānau can preserve and share the stories, photographs, videos and memories of their loved ones.

As the LovedForever memorial collection grows, this page can become a place to discover people, whānau and stories connected to the Māori community.
Stories and Memories
[edit | edit source]A person's life is more than their name and dates on a memorial.
Family and friends can contribute:
- Personal stories
- Memories
- Photographs
- Videos
- Audio recordings
- Family history
- Family trees
These contributions can help preserve the memories and life stories of loved ones for future generations.
Whakapapa and Family History
[edit | edit source]Whakapapa is an important part of Māori identity and connects people across generations.
LovedForever allows families to preserve family relationships and build family trees that connect parents, children, siblings and other relatives.
Family members can contribute information about their whānau and help preserve important family history.
Culture and Heritage
[edit | edit source]Māori communities have diverse iwi, hapū, whānau, histories and traditions.
LovedForever aims to provide a respectful place where families can record the individual lives and experiences of their loved ones while preserving the connections between people, families and generations.
Memorial pages may include information about a person's whānau, whakapapa, community involvement, achievements, interests and life experiences.
