The Te Rōpū Whakahau Hui-ā-Tau, 9-13 November 2026, is a kaupapa Māori gathering created to provide a safe, culturally grounded space for those who whakapapa Māori to come together. The theme for Hui ā Tau 2026 comes from the Whanganui whakataukī: “kauaka e kōrero mō te awa engari kōrero ki te awa” — “Do not talk about the river; talk to the river.” If you're a Wikimedian with whakapapa Māori, WANZ could support you to attend this event.
