Tāhuhu: Preserving the Nation’s Memory is a multi-year programme of work that encompasses seven projects and workstreams. 

A Tāhuhu is the backbone of the whare tūpuna. The backbone is a fundamental structure and can be seen as a powerful metaphor of support for the mahi we are doing over the next six to seven years. We have extended this metaphor to include the heke (the ribs) as the Projects within Tāhuhu.
