Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua hosted Ngāi Tahu for Hui-ā-Tau on Saturday 23 November. The meeting was also streamed live to Ōtākou Marae, Arahura Marae and Murihiku Marae so whānau could connect via a web-link. The one-day event was all about the kōrero (conversations), with members hearing short presentations, followed by questions and answers. Around two hundred whānau attended Arowhenua, and another 100 participated via the satellite hubs, with everyone enjoying the catch-up.

While the kōrero is the focus of this year’s Hui-ā-Tau, whānau made the most of the occasion and the Kotahi Mano Kāika team organised a te reo softball tournament in Temuka. Three teams headed to the dugout following the hui and played softball in a full immersion te reo environment.
