Blessing of the Waka Site

Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri Iwi Trust invites you to join us for a special ceremony to honor our ancestral Waka site.

Blessing of the Waka Site

📅 Date: Saturday, 18 January 2025
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM
📍 Location: North Coast, Wharekauri | Chatham Islands

Schedule of Events:

  • 10:00 AM: Karakia and Blessing of the Waka Site
  • 1:00 PM: All welcome for a cup of tea at Whakamaharatanga Marae

This sacred event will be led by Albert Tuuta, Willie Fraser, and supporting Kaumātua. Together, we will honor the past and preserve the cultural legacy of this significant taonga (treasure).


Why This Event Matters

The Waka site represents our shared history and connection to our whenua (land). It is a place of great cultural and spiritual importance, holding 27 sections and 67 fragments of an ancient Waka, uncovered after being displaced by storms.

Your presence will help celebrate and preserve the significance of this taonga for future generations.
