Organisers of a Ngāpuhi hui in Tāmaki Makaurau says Saturday’s event will be an uplifting experience for all who attend.
Penetaui Kleskovic (Te Aupouri, Muriwhenua), the lead for the Ngāpuhi ki Tāmaki event at South Auckland’s Due Drop Events Centre said this hui will hopefully galvanise whānau who have not had the opportunity to reconnect with their whakapapa.
“Whānau can expect that we’re going to portray our tupuna in such a way that it’s going to be relevant and interesting.”
‘There’s a lot of people that are culturally bankrupt’
More than 1000 people have already registered and Kleskovic expects that number to rise once word gets around.
