More about the kaupapa:

This biennial event, which was launched by Ngāti Awa in 2009, promotes the iwi vision for 2050:

“Ko Ngāti Awa te Toki te tangatanga i te ra, te ngohengohe i te wai”

Ngāti Awa is the adze whose bindings cannot be loosened by the sun nor softened by the rain. 

This vision recognises the future ambitions and aspirations of Ngāti Awa, led by Ngāti Awa, for whānau, marae, hapū and iwi as well as the aspirations of Ko Ngāti Awa te Toki of Tūrangawaewae, Tū Pakari, Toi Ora and Mauri Ora.

This kaupapa provides a platform for each hapū of Ngāti Awa to exercise their individual hapūtanga and Ngāti-Awatanga, ultimately contributing to the strategic directions of Tūrangawaewae, Cultural Identity & Connectivity for ngā uri o ngā hapū o Ngāti Awa, as well as other iwi and the wider community.
