OUR SERVICES

Empowering Māori and Indigenous Communities through Technology

In a rapidly advancing world, technology can be a powerful ally for Indigenous communities seeking to preserve and transmit their traditional knowledge and language to future generations. By blending age-old wisdom with cutting-edge innovations, technology helps to ensure the endurance of cultural heritage in the digital age.

 

ARA Journeys digital platforms, augmented reality apps, and online resources empower Indigenous peoples around the world to share their stories, art, and traditions with the world, while creating a lasting digital legacy. Our technological innovations also help address environmental challenges and empower younger generations through education. By weaving the threads of tradition into the digital fabric, Indigenous communities can thrive and ensure their invaluable contributions endure for generations to come.

 

We take pride in our ability to stay ahead of the curve and provide cutting-edge services that meet the unique needs of everyone we work with.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

"ARA Journeys is an amazing company to work with.  They made the process of digitalising our story of Te Winika easy and were attentive to detail, ensuring that the technology authentically told the story, as told by the hāpu. We were very pleased with the outcome and felt that the digitalisation  enhanced the story passed down from our tīpuna. They enabled us to share our story with our community and guests in a modern way giving them a better understanding about our culture and the history of Port Waikato. We can't wait to work with the team again!"

Jade McCormack - General Manager, Port Waikato Holiday Park
