More than 2000 Ngāi Tahu whānau gathered in Kaikōura at the weekend.
Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura chairperson Hariata Kāhu said this year’s Hui-ā-Iwi was a chance to express appreciation for support following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 2016.
‘‘Hui-ā-Iwi is such an important occasion for our iwi, and it was incredible to see more than 2000 of our whānau reconnecting and celebrating together.’’
The event was held at Kaikōura’s South Bay Racecourse from Friday to Sunday, November 22 to 24.
A highlight of the weekend was Te Atakura, with a series of cultural performances from around the takiwā, Ms Kāhu said.
‘‘The mana and passion in our waiata and haka never fail to bring me immense pride in our Ngāi Tahutanga.
‘‘It was particularly awesome to see our rangatahi actively involved, not only in the preparations but also performing on stage and engaging in kōrero with our leaders.
‘‘I’m grateful to the many Ngāti Kurī whānau who came together to help with the preparations. Manaakitanga is a value that defines us as an iwi, and their efforts exemplified this.’’
Manaakitanga means showing respect, generosity and care for others.
Kāhu said Hui-ā-Iwi was well supported by the wider community, including food vendors and local suppliers.
Accommodation was booked out in the town, as visiting whānau opted to support local businesses.
‘‘This reflects the strong partnerships we have here in Kaikōura and reinforces the spirit of kotahitanga that made this special event a success,’’ Kāhu said.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

We monitor water quality at recreation sites over summer for toxic algae, however, site assessments are based on the risk to human health. It is not always possible to observe small amounts of toxic algae that could still be dangerous for dogs.
If you’re ever in doubt about the water quality, then keep your dog on a leash and away from the water’s edge.
It's vital to know what to look for to keep your dogs safe 👉 www.ecan.govt.nz...
