Te Tīpare Tauā o Te Kawa Tuangahuru marks the 10th cohort of Taura Pouwhakarae within Te Whare Tū Tauā o Aotearoa, recognising their commitment and dedication to mau rākau, tikanga, and mātauranga Māori.

This kaupapa honours Shannon Borrell, Maioha Tupe, Mahina Tupe, and Kiliona Tamati Tupa’i as they receive their tīpare in acknowledgement of their achievement as Taura Pouwhakarae.

The event will bring together whānau, hapū, iwi, and manuhiri from across Aotearoa, Ahitereiria, and Hawaiʻi for a weekend of whakawhanaungatanga and celebration. The programme includes kapa haka performances, mau rākau demonstrations, a formal banquet dinner, and the Tīpare Tauā ceremony.

This kaupapa celebrates cultural excellence, leadership, and the ongoing transmission of mātauranga Māori through Te Whare Tū Tauā o Aotearoa.
