Today we pause to remember.
140 years ago, the eruption of Tarawera changed the lives of our Tūhourangi whānau forever. We honour those who were lost, those who survived, and the resilience that continues to define our iwi today.
Their stories live on through our whenua, through our people, me nga kōrero tuku iho (intergenerational knowledge).
At Te Puia, we stand with our whānau in remembrance and respect.
Me maumahara tātou ki a rātou.
