Te Mauri Manawa Whatu o te Iwi

Te Mauri Manawa Whatu o te Iwi brought the many hapū of Tūwharetoa together to strengthen relationships, connect generations and celebrate our shared whakapapa through kapa haka.

With funding support from Te Pae o Waimihia and contributions from supporting hapū, our people were able to participate in Koroneihana and travel to the Te Nehenehenui Festival in Maniapoto to stand in support of our Ariki, Te Rangimaheu.

The kaupapa demonstrated the true meaning of kotahitanga not just talking about unity, but living it through our actions and commitment to one another.

Together, we continue to strengthen our people, and supporting our hapū in Tūwharetoa.
