🌿 Kia ora e te whānau, whanui o te hapori nei 🌿Nau mai, haere mai, tauti mai!
You are warmly invited to join us at Arai te Uru Marae for a Manaakitanga Community Pōwhiri
🗓 Saturday 27 June 2026
Please arrive at 10:30am in the carpark to prepare for the pōwhiri, which will begin at 11:00am. Our gathering will conclude around 2:00pm.
This will be a vibrant, multicultural celebration of connection, culture, and community. Whether it’s your first time on a marae, your first pōwhiri, or you simply feel called to come—this space is for you.
✨ Bring your whānau and friends or come along on your own and meet beautiful new people.
✨ If you would like to share your culture through kōrero, waiata, dance, or kai, we would love to hear from you—either beforehand or on the day.
Together, we will honour:
🌍 World Refugee Day (20 June)
🎉 10 Years of Resettlement in Ōtepoti
Expect a day filled with ceremony, learning, laughter, kai, music, and meaningful connection.
We are blessed to have presentations in the wharenui to support our kaupapa of allowing our voices to be heard.
Our whakataukī for this gathering is:
"Whakakotahi i ngā hau e whā kia tū kotahi ai te tangata"
“Unifying the four winds so the people may stand as one."
💛 If you’d like to volunteer, please reach out—we welcome your support.
Haere mai, haere mai – all are welcome, all are valued.
We look forward to sharing this special day with you.
