North Taranaki Iwi whānau day

The 2020 calendar year ended in true whakakwhānaungatanga style on the 13th of December when the Northern Iwi of Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Maru, Te Atiawa, and Taranaki Iwi came together to host an afternoon for whānau to come together and connect as

Taranaki Whānui. The day was filled with sunshine, kai, swimming and laughter. Whānau were treated to a sausage sizzle, ice cream and coffee. It was a wonderful day and a great opportunity for whānau to enjoy each other’s company whilst celebrating our collective Taranakitanga.

Ohu it provides an opportunity for our uri to become the driving force behind Taranaki Iwi kaupapa being held in these areas.

It was truly heart-warming and encouraging to see more than 500 of our whānau connect over the series of hui and strengthen our whānaungatanga and collective Taranaki Iwi identity by simply coming together as whānau. Our Engagement Team look forward to continuing their Taranaki Iwi Uri Engagement kaupapa in 2022.
