Flags & Family: A Hīkoi mō Experience
Hīkoi - a Māori word for a journey, a walk, a pilgrimage. That's exactly what the Flags & Family experience is all about: a journey of connection, remembrance, and celebration. It's a powerful blend of cultural pride, family history, and the spirit of unity.
A Journey of Belonging
Imagine this: you're surrounded by a vibrant sea of flags, each representing a different iwi (tribe). The air is alive with the sounds of laughter, stories, and music. This is the heart of the Flags & Family experience. It's a chance to reconnect with your heritage, learn about your ancestors, and build a stronger sense of belonging.
More Than Just Flags: It's About Family
The Flags & Family event isn't just about waving flags. It's about the whānau (family) who gather together to share their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs. It's a space where generations come together, learn from each other, and build lasting connections.
A Celebration of Culture
The Flags & Family experience is a celebration of Māori culture in all its glory. You'll see traditional haka dances, hear the rhythmic beat of taonga pūoro (traditional instruments), and experience the warmth and hospitality of Māori people.
Beyond the Event: A Lasting Impact
The impact of the Flags & Family experience extends far beyond the day of the event. It inspires a sense of pride, belonging, and commitment to the future. It's a reminder that we are all connected, and that our shared history is a powerful force for good.
