the booklet.This year’s hui starts with a formal pōwhiri at 11am on Friday 23 November.
Some of you may still be wondering why we have not called this event Hui-ā-Tau. This is because at every annual hui we have sought feedback and you have consistently told us that whanaungatanga, connecting with each other and renewing our relationships, is the key ingredient for an awesome hui. This has been the driver for a new three-year format cycle where we have a large whanau I’m looking forward to seeing you festival – Hui-ā-Iwi – once every at Hui-ā-Iwi whānau. If you haven’t three years which allows us to really already got your plans in place for focus on whanaungatanga in a big Hui-ā-Iwi, which is happening over way, celebrating what it is that makes the Friday, Saturday and Sunday us Ngāi Tahu. Organising something (23-25 November), it is not too late like this takes a huge amount of and all the details you need to get resource so in the intervening years to the Lincoln Events Centre (just we will return to a Hui-ā-Tau format. outside of Christchurch) can be found This year we can look forward to in the booklet included with this some unique programme elements edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka. Lincoln with a focus on showcasing some is only 20km from the centre of of our best Ngāi Tahu talent, Christchurch and about 12km from including our musicians, visual Hornby so there are a great deal of artists, entertainers and kapa haka accommodation options available, exponents. The last time I checked, including options at Lincoln. Again, we already had 10 marae-based kapa you will find more information inside haka groups scheduled to perform.
At any one time, there will be different activities to choose from. Along with the entertainment happening on the main stage, a number of our artists are planning to hold workshops and there will be a marketplace operating from midday Friday until the close of the event on Sunday afternoon. Also, Sunday is our big sports day with fun activities for all ages. Another change from previous years is that there will be a hākari immediately after the pōwhiri but after that kai for the rest of the weekend is either bring your own picnic, or purchase kai from the many and varied stalls. There will also be a brief report back from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu on Friday after the hākari.
