Te Pā Tū (previously Tamaki Māori Village) presents culture and kai (cuisine) – sharing Māori history, traditions, and future aspirations across four hours of celebration and feasting. They were places of physical refuge in times of war, and they remain sanctuaries for our mind and spirit. Pā are where we meet to discuss critical issues, where we celebrate occasions of significance and where we st
