Uawanui ki Tahitinui is a week long cultural exchange for Te Aitanga a Hauiti in Tahitinui.
The significant contribution Tupaea made in the shaping of New Zealand’s heritage can form the basis for cultural exchanges moving forward, and to promote and learn about localised mātauranga and stories to educate all those living in and visiting Uawanui.
This waharoa is named Hingangaroa me Iranui. It was unveiled on the 20th of March 2019. The whakairo above was a koha by Toi Māori Aotearoa to Te Aitanga a Hauiti. We are very proud to be the custodians of this taonga and to have this showcased in Uawanui-a-Ruamatua.
This story tells the journey of this magnificent whakairo and the many hands that carved it along the way.
