Save the dates: Friday 20 November to Sunday 22 November at Ōtepoti-Dunedin.

E ngā kahika, e te iwi whānui, nāia te mihi kau atu i runga i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā.

Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou, Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki, me Te Rūnanga o Moeraki are the hosts for Hui-ā-Iwi 2015.

Hui-ā-Iwi 2015 will be a celebration of all things Ngāi Tahu and it will be an opportunity for all to share in whakawhanaungatanga and experience the best of Ngāi Tahutanga, so come along and join us for music, kai, wānaka, culture, laughter and fun.

November is fast approaching, so now would be a good time to start thinking about accommodation for the three-day festival. More information on different accommodation options, costs and locations will be posted on the Ngāi Tahu website and in the next edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka.

In the meantime, we would love to hear from whānau, community organisations, Government agencies, Taurahere groups, weavers and carvers, kapa haka, musicians or anyone with a passion for Ngāi Tahutanga, as there will be opportunities to share your kaupapa with festival-goers.

If you are interested in having a stall or showcasing your mahi at this year’s Hui ā Iwi 2015, then please contact us and register your expression of interest. To register or for further information please contact: [email protected].
