Maori were the first people to travel through the Mackenzie District to gather the natural resources (mahika kai). The Takata Whenua (people of the land) are descendants of the tribes of Kati Mamoe, Waitaha and Kai Tahu. There are many places throughout the District which have been used and occupied by Takata Whenua and the District remains spiritually and culturally important to Takata Whenua.
The Mackenzie District has been blessed with a wonderful and unique natural environment which includes wide open spaces, outstanding landscapes, rivers and lakes, mountains (including Aoraki Mt Cook) and both high and low country.
