📍 KAIAPOI PĀ HIKOI 🌿🔥
Walking through history right here in our own backyard! 🙌🏽
Ngā mihi nui ki a Matua Nikau Puha-tirikatene for sharing the rich and significant history of Kaiapoi Pā with our tauira. A great opportunity to connect with our local history and learn from the whenua we walk on. 💚

My great great grandmother Mere Piharo also escaped with her little brother
Same my tipuna went south ruapuke island
Be cool see this Pā Rebuilt 💯
What l find interesting is there are no information boards telling people about the events that took place there. The Pa was captured by Te Rauparaha and his warriors, the occupants were murdered, eaten and slaves taken.
Kāi Tūāhuriri me Kāi Tūhaitara te hapū. My tīpuna, Pī fled during the siege, and if she hadn’t, I’d not be born. I owe her my life, literally ❤️🖤🤍
Hiikoi maa runga too whenua 😍😍😍😍
After the earthquakes the top of the beautiful carved monument was removed. Is this ever going to be returned.....
Nikau Puha-tirikatene you are such a PO to the whanau that cross your path arohanui kai kaha xxx
Did you visit the large mound, where the early settlers buried the Maori that were murdered by Te Rauparaha, that many they had to use horses and carts.

I did an essay on this Pā amongst other areas. Wish I could've gone on to feel the wairua. Got an A though lol
That Pa site is Tapu 😞I wrote a poem of that Pa site.
💚 NOAIA | GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY 🙌🏽
Our Noaia tauira and kaimahi spent an evening last term volunteering alongside the Hope Community Trust team at Rangiora Baptist Church, helping serve a delicious roast meal to 80 locals! 🍽️
From serving meals to cleaning up afterwards, our tauira got stuck in and showed some great manaakitanga along the way. 💚
A big ngā mihi to Virginia and the Hope Community Trust team for all the amazing mahi you do for our community. We loved being part of it! 🙌🏽
