Whānau, it’s Te Atakura time again. Time to fix those poi, polish those rākau and warm up those korokoro. Practices have already begun in Kaikōura, Taumutu, Ōraka Aparima and with our kaimahi in the office. Kai ruka noa atu.
Te Atakura will be held at the Aurora Centre, Burnside High School on Saturday, 12 October starting at 9.30am. Te Atakura is about participation, about growing our hapū and rūnanga pride and connection.
It is a non-competitive environment for our rūnanga to learn and perform waiata tira, whakaeke, mōteatea, waiata-ā- ringa, haka, poi and whakawātea.
Rūnanga can choose to do all disciplines, or to just get up and sing one or two songs. It’s completely up to you. Have some fun. Please let us know at [email protected] if you want to book a rūnanga spot on stage.
Ngā manu tīoriori o Ngāti Wheke.
