Tūapapa Wānanga Series

The Tūāpapa Wānanga series is about building strong foundations together as whānau. Tūāpapa means foundation, and through this series we’ll be growing confidence, sharing knowledge, learning practical skills, and strengthening our connection to the kaupapa behind our Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō pahi at Rotoiti.

Inspired by the temporary shelters once used by our tūpuna, the pahi reflects the way our people traditionally lived alongside the rhythms of the taiao. The Rotoiti pahi will be a contemporary, multi-use space shaped by our identity, tikanga, and aspirations for the future.

These wānanga are an opportunity for whānau to come together, learn, reconnect, and be part of the journey.
