We know whānau are looking for a better way, seeking solutions, craving history and authenticity. For many, Waitangi - and especially Te Tiriti O Waitangi Marae, as it is the only marae in Waitangi is a place to find connection, clarity, and inspiration. 


We hear you loud and clear. That’s why we’re stepping up with a bold new direction: not just to commemorate, but to connect, educate, engage, empower, and learn together.


This year, we’re transforming Waitangi into a future-focused, Indigenous Expo - a platform to showcase the incredible mahi of our whanaunga while guiding our people toward resilient, self-sufficient futures.
