Ngāti Whātua haka theatre production
A story nearly lost to history is brought back to life through haka theatre – fierce, raw and unforgettable.
This is more than a show – its identity re
claimed, wairua ignited, and history honoured.
E kore te riri e tae mai ki Kaipara!
The battle of Te Ika a Ranganui in 1825 was a dark and defining moment in our tribal history – one that brought us to the brink of extinction.
Te riu reoreo, taku uru tōtara ka ākina e te hau.
But this story is now brought to life through haka theatre.
It is a beacon of our endurance, our identity, and our unbreakable wairua.
Now we stand stronger, telling our story on our terms.
