E tu ake ana ahau ki Ok? 
Ka tiro atu ki Te Waik?kota 
Ka rongo ahau ki ng? wai e tere nei
Ko T?kapa Moana, ko Hauraki ko Waitemata
Ko ?reia he tipua he taniwha
As I stand at Ok? I look out across Te Waik?kota
I sense the waters flowing, T?kapa Moana, Hauraki, Waitemata
Here is ?reia the mythical sea creature

Join Herewini Easton on a pictorial journey of the ancient shoreline of Auckland’s waterfront, from Point Erin to Brickfield Bay.

Engagement with M?ori taonga - with Rob Eruera.  Wednesday 26 July, 12pm -1pm 

The charismatic karanga of taonga M?ori over the years has left my mind and heart filled with emotional wonder at how powerful such treasures truly are. Most important to this equation, however, is how people engage and join with the taonga.

Please join me in this low key chat.
