Kia ora e te whānau,
To mark the start of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori we have something exciting to share with you - a new resource book produced especially for our Apanesians!
Whether you are a gun speaker, or don't know your pepeha from your mihimihi - that's OK! Our cultural gurus have put together some basic information and cultural practices which will get you on your way to knowing more about - and being confident to express - your Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tōtanga.
Iwi members keen to get their hands on a copy can either message us on Facebook or email us on comms@ngatiapakiterato.iwi.nz to reserve a copy. We’ll be posting them out toward the end of this month.
Karawhiua!
