Introduction
Whakarewarewa Native Square refers to Whakarewarewa Thermal Village in southern Rotorua, home of the Tuhourangi/Ngati Wahiao people for generations. Geysers and boiling mud pots surround the living village; residents keep traditional ways, and visitors tour the thermal pools, watch Maori song and dance, and taste corn cooked in the hot springs — New Zealand's most authentic geothermal cultural village.
