Kia ora koutou,

Due to tikanga and the current circumstances for our whānau, we have made the decision to cancel the Ruapūtahanga Festival.

We are grateful for the mahi, time and commitment that has gone into this kaupapa, and thank everyone for their understanding and support.

We intend to return with the Ruapūtahanga Festival in two years’ time, when the time is right and the tikanga allows.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa ❤️

Ripiria!!

Haehaea!!

He kura tangihia, he maimai aroha!

Kei te tōtara haemata!

Kua ngaro koe ki te Pō
Ko te Pīpiīwharauroa e tangi nei, auhī nei.

Moe mai rā, e te Rangatira.

Kua tīmata tō haerenga whakamutunga ki te iwi nui o Te Pō.

Nō reira, e te rangatia e moe i tō moe.

Haere, haere, haere atu rā. Haere ki ō tupuna e karanga ana ki a koe!

With deep sadness and aroha, we acknowledge the passing of our rangatira, Haimona (Maimo) Maruera.

Due to the tangi, there will be some changes to our planned activities and arrangements. We ask for everyone’s understanding, patience and respect during this time.

Our aroha and condolences are with the whānau and our entire iwi.
