This October, let’s come together to support Breast Cancer Awareness and turn our city pink!
Get creative — decorate your office, business, or shop front, host a “Wear Pink” Day, or whip up a pink-themed dish, drink, or dessert. However you choose to show your support, every splash of pink helps raise awareness and show aroha for those impacted by breast cancer.
Let’s go, Porirua — let’s paint our city pink!

The Epic Life of Kahe Te Rau-o-te-Rangi
Te Waka Huia Wellington Museum is excited to have Miria Pōmare share the beautiful tāonga of her family’s story for Wellington Heritage Festival.
Miria comes from a long line of influential wāhine Māori. Her namesake, Lady Mīria Pōmare (1877-1971), was a community leader who spent much of her life advocating for the benefits of both Māori and Pākeha. In 1918, Lady Mīria was appointed an OBE for her service to the Māori Soldiers’ Fund which was established to help provide soldiers with comfort (food, knitted garments, letters) while they were away from home. Lady Mīria Pōmare’s story is shared in a display in the Attic of Te Waka Huia.
Hear the life story of modern-day Miria’s tupuna and great Rangatira Kahe who was one of five women who signed Te Tiriti in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Nau mai, haere mai to hear more about this Mana Wāhine and her truly epic life.
