Kaupapa:
2010 is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the NZ Wars. On 17 March 1860, British Troops declared war and descended on Waitara. This date stands as the defining moment in the history of Aotearoa, for all the wrong reasons.

The Waitangi Tribunal found the Muru Raupatu, the subsequent massive land confiscations, has had a devastating effect on the iwi of Taranaki - socially, economically, politically, educationally and organisationally.

For the people of PARIHAKA and Te Atiawa, the wrongs have not yet been righted. The wounds are still raw. So, 150 years on, the question is,

'Is peace truly achievable for the people of Taranaki?'
3.00 pm Well known Writer, actor, artist, musician,entertainer. Api will motivate you, entertain and enlighten. Apirana Taylor
4.00 pm Te Ao Wera - Global Warming in Aotearoa Workshop - Mike Smith and Hinekaa Mako
