- Pā sit at the epicentre of our communities. They were places of physical refuge in times of war, and they remain sanctuaries for our mind and spirit.
- Pā are where we meet to discuss critical issues, where we celebrate occasions of significance and where we strengthen our own understanding of who we are.
- Te Pā Tū presents culture and kai (cuisine) events – sharing Māori history, traditions, and future aspirations across four hours of celebration and feasting.
Tamaki Māori Village is proud to present, TE PĀ TŪ and its Matariki feast, Tū Te Ihi. This is a uniquely Māori celebration of culture and cuisine which spans the time of year when the Matariki cluster of stars sit high and bright in our winter skies.
