It was awesome welcoming Native Nations: Tracing Indigenous Footsteps to Tio Ōhiwa last week! 🌊🦪

We loved sharing our whenua, culture and kōrero, and connecting with Indigenous rangatahi visiting from the Northern Territory, Australia. These moments of whakawhanaungatanga remind us how powerful it is to come together, share our stories and celebrate our connections as Indigenous peoples.

Thank you for visiting us on your journey. We hope you enjoyed the kai, the kōrero and your time here at Ōhiwa. Safe travels for the rest of your waka kaupapa! 🖤
