Whakahokia! Ngaati Hauaa, our taonga, whakapapa and korero brings together taonga from local and national collections and
follows a national survey of Ngaati Hauaa taonga, bought together for the first time. The exhibition shares the history of
Ngaati Hauaa from their own perspective, in a celebration of whakapapa,
resilience and ongoing strength. Whakapapa
is at the heart of the exhibition, which honours the voices of those who carried its stories forward
and acknowledges those who hold them now. Above all, Whakahokia!
recognises that the taonga of Ngaati Hauaa continue to live through the people
and places to which they belong by also exploring the lives and aspirations of
Ngaati Hauaa today.
