About the event
"Mauri Whenua, Mauri Tangata, Mauri Kōrero, Mauri Ora"
Tūrāhiritia mai e te tī, e te tā
E kainamu ana tā mātou ko Te Whānau Reo Māori whakaari hei whakanui i tōna ekenga ki te 40 ngā tau.
Kua whakapau kaha ā mātou uri me ngā kaiamo o Manutuke ki te whakarite i tēnei whakaari motuhake, ka mutu, e hīkaka ana ki te whakaatu atu ki ngā whānau katoa.
When Tuatara has a vision, a journey begins that draws three brothers into the worlds of five iwi, where challenges await and the meaning of mauri unfolds.
Through waiata, haka, dance, humour and storytelling, the tamariki and rangatahi of Te Kura o Manutūkē bring this adventure to life in Te Reo Māori.
