Ngāti Kahu - TeRāHoroi - Saturday 13 September

I was having a kōrero with a wahine, who told me that the rohe of Nga Puhi was, to her knowledge, all of the area north of Auckland. I enlightened her that there are a multitude of Iwi in the North, other than hers. Ngāti Kahu is one of them, I have also included a photo of the old whare. The new whare is being built, shown on a previous post, Te RāApa, Wed 10. Te Pātu, e ngā wā o mua, was built to stop Nga Puhi from advancing on Te Aupouri.

Te Pātu -Te RāApa – Wednesday 10 September

Ko Kahutianui te wahine, Ko Parata te tangata, Ko Mamaru te waka, Ko Maungataniwha te Maunga, Ko Tokerau te Moana, Ko TePātu te hapu. Ko Ngāti Kahu te Iwi.

Hikurangi -Te RāTū – Tuesday 9 September

Kawakawa -Te RāHina – Monday 8 September #2

Hundertwasser (with the help of the community) created these toilets. And of course Kawakawa wouldn't be Kawakawa without the three bridges.
