Waitaha

Ngā Pākihi Whakatekateka o Waitaha Cultural Council, established 60 years ago, supports and promotes kapa haka and Māori performing arts across Waitaha, originally spanning from Kaikōura to Waimate but now including Ōtepoti and Murihiku. It organises regional competitions, fosters rangatahi engagement, and upholds tikanga Māori, connecting whānau, hapū, and iwi through cultural expression and creativity.
