Hine Matapaki: Te Pae Tōrangapū

Kei aku nui, kei aku rahi

Ngati Poneke Maori Arts warmly invites you to join us for an inspiring kōrero at Pipitea Marae as part of our Matariki Festival celebrating mana wahine.

This event, "Hine Matapaki Te Pae Torangapū," will feature a panel of influential Wahine Māori MPs who will share their insights and experiences about being Māori women in politics, the significance of Matariki, and their hopes for the new year.

Our speakers represent a wealth of diversity and lived experience from all walks of life. They have come from state care, to deeply entrenched grassroots, and community living, embodying the multifaceted lives that wahine Māori have lived and are living now.

About Ngati Poneke
Ngati Poneke has supported and been a korowai manaaki to shelter to all iwi across the motu who came to Wellington for better jobs because of land confiscation and rapid urbanisation. Pipitea Marae continues this legacy by bringing diverse voices from Parliament, thanks to the whakapapa and legacy of Ngati Poneke.

This event is part of Te Whakanui i a Matariki, proudly hosted by Ngati Poneke Maori Arts. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more information on our other events: @ngatiponekemaoriarts.
