Tuesday 29 October 2019
National Library of New Zealand, Molesworth Street, Thorndon
Gather 12pm at the seated area in front of the He Tohu gallery. Talk begins 12.10pm.
The final party to He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tirani (The Declaration of Independence of New Zealand) was Te Wherowhero of Tainui, who signed on the 22nd of July 1839.
Rahui Papa will discuss the circumstances surrounding the signing by Te Wherowhero, the Tainui view of the Declaration, and subsequent events in Tainui and New Zealand history.
About the speaker: Rahui Papa (Tainui) grew up on and around his marae and papakāinga of Pōhara, in the Waikato. He has worked in broadcasting, teaching, and has served as a director and trustee on many boards. He is perhaps best known as an expert orator and a recognised authority on Waikato reo, tikanga, and tribal history.
Working Bees 🐝
We hold monthly working bees on the third Sunday of each month and are always looking for new people to join us. We are a fun crew doing some great work in the cemetery and learning about its history as we go.
If you can spare a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, then we would love to hear from you! There's no commitment to come every time and we find tasks suited to interests and abilities - from cleaning headstones, to clearing weeds and sweeping graves.
So if you would like to find out more, or be added to our Working Bee email list (where we advise dates, times and meeting places) then please email us: secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz
