Mau Räkau/Hip Hop Wänanga A successful weekend wänanga organised by Te Tuteraki Whanoa Trust was held for our young girls to learn about both traditional Māori weaponary and hip hop dance. The girls enjoyed learning tï räkau, patu, mau räkau, a haka and a hip hop dance routine. The girls were also taken down to the old Arahura Bridge for a photo shoot. They all had hair and makeup done and were photographed. A hängi was also provided by Te Tuteraki Whanoa Trust on the last day of the wänanga for the girls who participated and their whānau. A big thank you to Te Tuteraki Whanoa Trust, the tutors Jerry Pu and Chantal Tumahai, the cooks Nelly, Aunty Missy and Naomi, all the helpers, parents and the young girls of course!
