Te Kāmaka Marae hosted over 400 people as part of this important kaupapa, with excellent support from the community.

The event included school representations, Auckland City Mission, AUT, Māori Wardens, Kaipātiki Community Facilities, local marae, and organizations such as Te Kotahi a Tāmaki Collective, Mataatua Marae, and Ngā Kete Wānanga, Fulton and Hogan.

Being selected as the host marae among 55 others was a significant honor, with widespread media coverage raising the profile of Te Kāmaka Marae.

We provided dinner and breakfast for over 300 people, accommodated 200 attendees in both the gym and marae, and joined the entourage to walk the Harbour Bridge—a truly collaborative and
impactful occasion.
