Taonga Tuku Iho Wānanga 2022

This wānanga series is intended to reconnect Ira Tāne and Ira Wāhine in revitalisation of the Oral traditions for Taumata Kōrero and Kāhui Kaikaranga.

Description

The Taonga Tuku Iho Wānanga series will provide the opportunity for tāne who are competent speakers of te reo to strengthen the marae taumata. Allied to that will be to provide wāhine who have a working knowledge of te reo to participate in the learning and maintenance of Te Kāhui Kaikaranga

Participants will engage in practical exercises that build upon their existing cultural knowledge and language competency in different ritualistic encounters such as Pōwhiri, Huimate, Mōteatea, Karanga and the like in an authentic marae context that will spiritually empower intergenerational capability.
