A visit from Te Arawa

Posted by Te Hua Rangatahi on 12 June 2010

Last weekend we hosted a group of kaumātua from Te Arawa for Matariki.

Thanks to our rangatahi who helped to manaaki our manuhiri of kaumātua from Te Arawa who came down to participate in Matariki kapa haka at Te Papa last weekend. We had really good feedback from many of the kuia who plan to come back next year and have asked that we host them again.

The kaumātua showed our roopu that being a bit older doesn't mean you can't join in the kapa haka. It also showed that New Zealand is a small place and the connections between the iwi are much closer than you might think.

We took some good photos which we will upload soon.
