In early October we had the privilege of a noho marae experience at Puketeraki Marae!

Our overnight stay allowed us to immerse ourselves in an environment where traditions, stories, and knowledge were generously shared - Highlights of the trip included: being welcomed by onto the marae by pōwhiri, a guided walk around Huriawa Pā, planting trees, and taking a waka trip with Kāritane Māori tours! 

Kā mihi nui Faye, Nikki, Mauraka, Aroha, Kane, Chris, and Susie for sharing your knowledge with us, creating a safe space for our learning and growth, and fostering our understanding of the local area!
