About this Event
Join us for a powerful and enriching guided hīkoi on Maungakiekie, led by knowledgeable representatives of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, the Iwi who whakapapa to this whenua.
This is a special opportunity to experience our iconic maunga through a Māori lens — learning its stories, its ancestry, and its deep cultural and historical significance through kōrero, waiata and kēmu.
