Résumé en anglais
Wai_Puka/Fyffe Historic Area in Kaik_ura, NewZealand, has had over eight centuries of human habitation.
Its powerful landscape and unique marine environment haveenabled the establishment of a succession of settlements by
enterprising and innovative people. With the objective ofascertaining how spirit is transmitted, consultation and an
analysis of visitor surveys identify differing levels ofresponse to both place and transmission tools. Structural and
archaeological remains, printed and electronic material,guides and oral histories all tell stories. These especially
revolve around notable M_ori settlement phases and laterEuropean whaling and farming. Recently a contemporary
pole carving was erected, emphasising both the place’s W_hiTapu status and the guardianship role that local M_ori, Ng_ti
Kuri, have in actively managing the cultural landscape. It isconcluded that the environmental and cultural landscape is
an integral part of the spirit of this place and its communitiessafeguard and revitalize that spirit.
