Hāpaitia Te Reo
A special series of stories to showcase the community projects we invest in.
“Kia ūkaipō anō te reo i roto i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori o te waka o Tainui”
This month we’re in the Tainui rohe with Ngāti Hauā and their kaupapa, Hāpaitia Te Reo.
The wānanga focused on creating families and communities of Te Reo Māori speakers and provided an opportunity for participants to hear directly from Māori language champions.

“Kua whakatūria e ahau tēnei kaupapa hei whāngai i te pouaru, te pani me te rawakore, he kuaha whānui kua puare ki te puna tangata me te puna kai”
— Kīngi Taawhiao
“I have instituted this gathering to feed the widowed, the bereaved and the destitute, it is a doorway that has been opened to the multitudes of people and the bounty of food”
This saying by King Taawhiao in 1884 started the Poukai at Whatiwhatihoe and later spread to 30 Poukai Marae around Tainui, Tauranga, Whakatane, Rotorua and Shannon. The first Poukai was held at Whatiwhatihoe in March 1885.
The Poukai is an annual series of visits by the Māori king to Kīngitanga marae around and beyond the Waikato region, a tradition that dates back to the 19th century.
