He wānanga taiao ki Ōkāreka – meeting at the Ōkāreka boat ramp, walking up to the Waitangi Outlet and back, then driving to Boyes Beach to walk and talk in our wetland. Finish up with a BBQ at Boyes Beach picnic area.

Give historical context of our tupuna at Ōkāreka, Native Land Court awards and understanding of present day mahi and events. From here we can ask what are our aspirations for this area.

We hope that this awareness will enhance cultural identity, environmental awareness and provide an opportunity for any whānau wanting to engage in any kaupapa taiao ki Ōkāreka.
