Meet the whānau
Guardians and Protectors of the natural world.
PIPI
When she runs, she flies. She likes to win and she loves to sing. With the words, ‘Pouākai, Haere mai!’, Pipi transforms into a Pouākai, a giant eagle. Along with her cousin, Pou, Pipi assists her grandmother, Nana, in caring for and protecting the natural world.
POU
A keen rugby player who also loves being in water and coming first against his cousin. He is mighty. He is fierce. When Pou cries, ‘Taniwha, kia kaha!’, he changes into a Taniwha. Like Pipi and Nana, Pou is a superhero for the environment.
NANA
A kuia and a tohunga, an expert in the natural world, who holds a lot of experience and wisdom. She leads and guides her mokopuna, Pipi and Pou, through their adventures in being kaitiaki.
Nana is also a master chef.
