Waitangi Day 2021 Arts & Crafts Activities, Feb 6 – 8

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

A national day of affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. What are ways in which you are learning about our nation's history pre 1840-2021?

The Museum has developed fun ways to support cultural learning and understanding of Māori culture, and its place in our nation's history.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
