Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, Engari he toa takitini.

My strength is not that of an individual, but that of a collective

Te Whare Karioi

Who We Are
Te Reo English

Ko Te Whare Karioi he taonga tuku iho na toku Kuia, ki ana tama, katahi ano ki ahau.

Te Whare Karioi is a legacy handed down by my Grandmother, to her sons, and then to me.

Haka Pōwhiri

Pūtatara

We hear the trumpet blow. The people are coming, we need to be ready.

Karanga

We listen to the call and open the veil to the spiritual world. It protects and provides.

Haka

We welcome you. This tells you who we are, it tells our story, our history, our legacy.

What we do
Te Reo English

Mā te reo waiata, me te mahi haka ka tohaina o mātou hītori, o mātou pūrākau, me ōna tikanga ki ngā manuhiri e tatū mai ai ki te Waitematā.

Through song and dance, we are able to share our history, narratives and customs that tell our stories to all that ascend upon shores of the Waitematā.
