Ka ngaue Mōkau.
Ka ngaue Tāmaki.
Ka rū te whenua.
Ka mate te marama.
Ka taka ngā whetū o te rangi.
Ka ara Waikato i te rua.
Au, au, aue ha!!!

Ko te Kīngitanga te mana motuhake.
Tū te Kīngi ki Waikato.
E ko Kīngi Tuheitia!!!

Our deepest love and condolences to our Whare Ariki for the passing of King Tuheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII.

Moe mai ra taku Ariki, taku Kīngi.

Paimārire.

Kia ora tātou. We were recently selected by 100% Pure New Zealand as 1 of 6 Māori tourism experiences from across Aotearoa New Zealand, highlighting and celebrating the unique beauty of our Māori culture. It was an amazing opportunity for Te Ahurei Māori Tourism to share a little bit of who we are, where we’re from and what we’re about. Truly blessed.

This Matariki season will see us celebrate the 5th anniversary of our kaupapa, so this experience gave us the opportunity to reflect on just how far we’ve come, the lessons we’ve learned and the hurdles we’ve had to overcome. But most of all, the privilege of making new friends from around the world and sharing our Māori Art Walking Tour of Kirikiriroa-Hamilton CBD experience.

With that being said, yes, it’s true we may be the ones sharing the experience, but all credit goes to the artists and their work. It’s due to their creativity, vision and generosity that we can share our passion with others and deliver our tourism experience, enriching our city, capturing our stories and imbuing their artwork with generations of wisdom. Ultimately, building kōtahitanga (unity and understanding) within the community.

There are so many people to thank, we don’t really know where to begin. However, our most heartfelt gratitude to 100% Pure New Zealand and the team at Waikato NZ for your continued support and belief in us. Along with the whānau from RUN design and advertizing agency. Last but not least, to Mum, Shirley Tuteao, for your unwavering belief, support, love and guidance. We love you. This is your victory.

“Mehemea, ka moemoea ahau, ko ahau anake. Mehemea ka moemoea tātou, ka taea e tātou” - “If I dream, I dream alone. If we dream together, we will succeed”. - Te Puea Herangi.

Taakuri tuu te kootahitanga. Paimaarire.

Tēnā tātou e te hāpori. It’s been a really awesome summer filled with quality family time, lots of searching for fresh water swimming holes and eating way too much good food. Haha. A couple days ago, we had an awesome time with this fun whānau from Wisconsin, USA. Who wanted to gain some more understanding around Te Ao Māori (The Māori World), so we were privileged to share our Māori Art Walking Tour of Kirikiriroa-Hamilton CBD with them. It was a great interaction with lots of positive energy and insightful questions. An awesome exchange for all involved. So awesome in fact, I forgot to capture anything but this photo. Lol. A heartfelt thank you to Lindzey, Jerry, Joy and the crew. Mauri ora ki a koutou, ki a tātou.

Part 2: The tuahine Tasmyn sharing kōrero with Mum and the rest of us about the amazing taonga (Kiingitanga 165th Celebrations throw) she designed and created through her kaupapa/business AWHI. Ko mātou te waimarie. Ngā mihi nui. We were truly fortunate. Mauri ora.

Kia ora tātou. We were blessed to spend Xmas Day at the Sands of Kawhia hotel and enjoyed a lovely Xmas lunch, alongside friends/whānau from all over the motu (North Island), some we knew, others we didn’t. Anywho, a few weeks ago, we had purchased a special Kiingitanga 165th Anniversary celebration throw from the amazing Māori business AWHI, for Mum’s Xmas present. Only to realize that Tasmyn Roach (the founder of Awhi Company and creator of the throw) and her whānau (Roach/Miller/Wanakore) had joined everyone for Xmas lunch. We knew it was too much of a coincidence, so we quietly introduced ourselves and asked if she would mind helping present the beautiful taonga (gift) to Mum (Shirley Tuteao). Tasmyn and her whānau were so accommodating and she even shared kōrero about the meanings and artistic expression within the throw’s design. It was such an uplifting and awesome experience, alongside all the whakapapa (genealogy) connections we made together. Mum was truly overwhelmed and wore the biggest smile for the rest of the day. We can’t thank you enough for everything. Tēnei te mihi aroha ki a koe e te tuahine Tasmyn mō tō ngākau mahaki me tō mahi paraikete, he mahi rangatira tēnā, he koha ki a mātou te whānau, ano hoki ki te iwi Māori. Best of luck in all your future endeavours for all the Awhi Company whānau. Paimaarire.

Merry Christmas whānau. From our family to yours, we hope you all have an enjoyable, safe, kai-filled day, with your nea...

Tēnā tātou. We recently shared a lovely whānau day out, amongst our Te Arawa cousins of Rotorua. Where we experienced some of their awesome Māori tourism offerings. Visiting the geothermal village and the Māori Arts & Crafts Institute (MACI) at Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ and a brief visit to Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa. Super impressed with the level of professionalism and hospitality, our Te Arawa relatives extend to guests, let alone their level of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge). Awesome experience.

Mōrena tātou. We recently spent some time alongside our Ngāti Kahungunu relatives in Hawkes Bay, supporting an important kaupapa (initiative) for Te Iwi Māori (Māori people). It was a privilege to hear leaders from across the country, share the aspirations of the tribes they represent, whilst also reconnecting and strengthening the ancestral bonds we share. The hospitality was amazing, the food was delicious and the scenery was magnificent. Mauri ora ki a koutou te whanaunga o Ngāti Kahungunu. #ngatikahungunu #teahureimaoritourism #maoriartwalkingtours #maoriart #maoristorytelling #maoritourism #aotearoa #aotearoatourism #kirikiriroa #hamilton #waikato #tainui
