Waitaha* is an abbreviation of the ancient name for Canterbury, in Aotearoa New Zealand, after our earliest inhabitant people: Waitaha Nation of Peace ~ “We are Waitaha. We are the water containers of the Creator, therefore we have been imbued with the many forms of waters containing the many gifts of all that is in the Universe” ~ Spirit journey to our sacred rivers.
