Rangatahi Waananga: Mai i te Whitinga o te Raa ki te Toonga
E te iwi, e nga rangatahi, ka tangi atu te karanga, kia huihui mai taatou i raro i te maru o te kapa haka, kia pupuri taatou i te mauri e hono ai taatou ki te ao, ki te whenua, ki te whakapapa. He raatahi ka timata i te ata maarama, ka whiti i te kaha o to tatou Haa, kia mura tonu ai te Ahi Kaa – hei whakamarama, hei whakaora, hei whakaara ake i o taatou maumahara.
Haere mai ki enei waananga motuhake, ka tuu i Kirikiriroa i te 22nd o Haanuere, i Kawhia i te 23rd, i Kemureti i te 24th, aa, ka tau ki Te Awamutu i te 25th. Ma te kotahitanga o te ngaa kauae, o te wairua, ka whakahokia mai te mana motuhake o to tatou hauora. He huarahi tenei mo nga whakatupuranga kei te haere mai – kia ora ai nga mokopuna, kia tuu rangatira ai te iwi.
Kia uuu, kia kaha, kia rangatira te haere. Haere mai, kia rere ai te hauora ki te ao hou e arahi ana taatou.
Our Wānanga: From Sunrise to Sunset
To our people, to our rangatahi, the call goes out for us to gather under the mantle of kapa haka, to hold steadfast to the life force that connects us to the world, the land, and our whakapapa. This is a day that begins in the light of dawn, ignited by the strength of our Haa, keeping the Ahi Kā burning bright – to illuminate, to heal, and to awaken the memory within us.
Join us for these special wānanga, held in Kirikiriroa on January 22nd, Kāwhia on the 23rd, Kemureti on the 24th, and concluding in Te Awamutu on the 25th. Through the unity of our voices and spirit, we reclaim the sovereignty of our hauora. This is a path for the generations to come – to sustain the life of our mokopuna, and to uplift our people to stand with mana.
Hold firm, stand strong, walk with pride. Join us, as we breathe life into the future that guides us all.
