Learning with Taonga, Learning with Tangata - 15th Wānanga Taonga at Hongoeka Marae
There was something different about the Wānanga Taonga at Hongoeka Marae this year. While the familiar gathering of tauira and sector kaimahi returned, alongside the same course coordinator and pou tikanga from Te Heke-Mai-Raro, the kaupapa felt amplified by the presence of a taonga that invited deeper reflection on responsibility, relationships and care.
Each year, students from Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington’s Master of Museum and Heritage Practice (MMHP) are welcomed by Ngāti Toa Rangatira to Hongoeka Marae. Over three immersive days, they step beyond lecture halls and galleries into the lived experience of a marae, where tikanga, whakapapa and mātauranga Māori shape how taonga are understood and engaged with.
For Moana Parata (Ngāti Toa Rangatira), Te Papa Tongarewa Kaitiaki Taonga and long-standing pou of the wānanga, taonga are never simply objects – they are living carriers of whakapapa and responsibility for future generations.
He kaha nō te kotahitanga, ehara i te takitahi
Wairau & Marlborough Evergreens recently hosted two days of unforgettable softball, bringing together wāhine from across Aotearoa for the 43rd NZ Women’s Evergreen Softball Tournament.
Fourteen teams, alongside their loyal supporters, travelled to Wairau, each carrying passion, pride, and a deep love for the game. The atmosphere at Lansdowne Park was electric, with skill, camaraderie and kotahitanga on full display.
