Tā Mason presented to Te Huinga Takiora Manukura o Nōku te Aō on 31 March 2022.
This on-line wānanga focused on the Nōku te Āo and Like Minds, Like Mine kaupapa concepts, kupu, and terminology. It was a precious opportunity to learn from our prestigious ahorangi and we are delighted to be able to share, with Tā Mason’s permission, for our continued learning.
