A stunning 3.5 hour award winning and personal encounter with our people, our land and our stories set in Pre European times. Celebrate and share in the ancient Maori traditions and rituals of welcome with the powhiri (welcome ceremony)....and warfare. Throughout the evening, explore Maori migration and navigation across the Te Moana Nui A Kiwa to Aotearoa New Zealand and learn more of our ancestor’s earliest days here – through a mixture of storytelling and performance. Ultimately share in an authentically prepared Hangi Meal (cooked in the earthen oven) and enjoy the warmth of your hosts at Tamaki Maori Village.
