WANANGA 2: August 14-16 2026
This is the second in a series of wananga answering, ko wai matou? Knowing who we are and where we come from helps us move stronger into the future.
Join us for a weekend at the Kokiri Center (86 Riria Kereopa Memorial Drive) to discuss the whenua of our people, mai i Te Akau ki Te Whanga. We will discuss various blocks held in trust by our hapu and our relationships with the whenua.
Naku te rourou, nau te rourou ka ora ai te iwi. Please bring a kai to share during the wananga.
There is room for 50 people at the kokiri center and you are welcome to stay. Please indicate below if you are planning to stay with us and be sure to bring your own blankets and pillows.
Due to limited funding for the wananga, if you plan to stay at the Kokiri for the weekend we would greatly appreciate a koha for the cost of accommodation. Our bank details are as follows:
Tainui O Tainui Charitable Trust 38-9019-0608404-00
We welcome all whanau to this event. While in progress, we kindly ask parents and caregivers to supervise their tamariki to ensure everyone can hear the korero.
While not yet confirmed, wananga #3 will be held either the first or second week of December and will be focused on Whaingaroa Moana.
Pre-registration is a must. To register, please check out our Facebook events page here either email totainuifinance@gmail.com
