E te tini, e te mano, e Te Rau o Tai!



Calling all descendants of Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki!

 

Our 10th Reo & Tikanga Wānanga is taking place over Matariki!


Kicking off on Thursday evening, the first part of the wānanga will focus on preparing us for hautapu on Saturday morning, welcoming in the new year together.


As always, this wānanga will be a safe space for all iwi members of Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki to learn and develop their Reo and Tikanga on their marae with their whānau.


So whether you're wanting to deepen your understanding of Matariki, develop your Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Reo and Tikanga, or connect with whānau over the new year, we hope you'll be joining us this Matariki - RSVP at the link below!

A detailed programme will be sent out to whānau who have RSVPed closer to the wānanga.


Ko ngā whetū ki te rangi,

Ko ngā kirikiri ki te one taitapa

Ko ngā mana whakaheke o Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki

Tēnā tātou katoa


Can't attend the full wānanga but wanting to join us for hautapu?



Although we encourage everyone to take part in the wānanga to get the most out of our hautapu ceremony, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki whānau who can't make it to the wānanga are still welcome to join us on Saturday morning to observe the rising of Matariki.


The hautapu ceremony will be starting at 5.30am on Saturday 21st.


Please fill in the form below to let us know you'll be attending. (Note: if you are attending the wānanga, you do not need to fill in this form as hautapu is part of the wānanga programme.)
