TE RŪNANGA O NGĀTI AWA | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
THE ART OF TAUTOHETOHE WĀNANGA - SEPTEMBER 2019 This was the first time Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa has implemented this type of wānanga. The main intention of the wānanga was to support the pilot ‘tautohetohe’ that was to be held at Te Toki Kapa Haka in October 2019. However, these wānanga are also designed to help our people with their tu pakari or their confidence when speaking Māori, particularly on their tūrangawaewae. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa will be running another similar wānanga next year.
