Te Tiriti and Me

Wellingtonians talk about what Whakapapa and The Treaty of Waitangi means to them.

What is it?

After the successful delivery of Te Tiriti and Me on Waitangi Day this year, we are bringing the roadshow back! In 2026, we’re changing things up to a touring theatre show which has been designed to be presented in schools and community spaces:

Taki Rua Productions and Īhaka Martyn present: He Māori?

Īhaka Martyn will have you laughing and crying as he weaves elements of stand-up comedy, waiata and physical performance to explore the confusion, comedy and celebration of reclaiming his Māoritanga from a Pākehā upbringing. It is a journey from total confusion to partial understanding.

He aha? He Māori? Is he? Maybe - it depends

He Māori is a 60 minute performance with a short Q+A session afterwards. Suitable for all ages.

All sessions are free, but require bookings due to venue capacities.

When is it?

Thursday 6 February 2025 – Waitangi Day. You are warmly invited to join us for a free presentation of He Māori? Followed by a short Q+A.
