What on earth is Tuia 250 ke Tōtaranui all about??
This year Aotearoa New Zealand will acknowledge 250 years since the first onshore encounters between Māori and Europeans, with a national commemoration called Tuia – Encounters 250 (Tuia 250).
It's about what brought us together, the challenges we face and how we will weave our cultures and values into a future we will be proud to leave for the next generation.
Tuia 250 encourages kōrero, debate and reflection, and enable a more balanced telling of our stories, so that we speak openly and respectfully about our histories.
We will also recognise the extraordinary voyaging traditions and cultures of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific), and the feats of European explorers and the technology they developed. We are focusing on promoting the exceptional feats of European, Māori and Pacific voyagers.
• Supporting a stronger sense of national identity and cohesion in relation to our Dual Heritage / Shared Future
• Commemorating this pivotal moment in our nation’s history
• Reflecting our Dual Heritage, our First Encounters, who we are today, and consider how we navigate our future together
• Sharing the stories of our place in relation to Tuia - First Encounters 250
