TE RURUKU PŪTAKERONGO
Taranaki Maunga Collective Redress, 29th and 30th of January 📣

E te whānau, the time is fast approaching for the second and third readings of the Maunga Redress Bill. This is a momentous occasion for Te Atiawa, and we now have the registration link available for those who wish to join us in tautoko.

🌿 Haerenga Details:

We have 30 spaces available for whānau to travel to Te Whanganui-a-Tara and stay at Pipitea Marae.

Whānau on the pahi will take part in the pōwhiri/whakatau in the morning before the readings.

Important to Note: Due to limited capacity, there are only 20 seats available in the Public Gallery at Parliament, and these have already been allocated to whānau. Therefore after the pōwhiri/whakatau, we will return to Pipitea Marae to watch the readings live via a streaming setup.

📍 For Those Staying in Taranaki:
We have arranged an alternative viewing option at Ngāmotu House, where whānau can gather, watch the live stream, and share in a cup of tea in a welcoming space. This ensures all whānau can come together to support and celebrate this significant occasion for Te Atiawa.

💻 Register Now for both below:
