About US
Pūāwhe Kapa Haka is dedicated to reclaiming Apakura tribal identity and asserting mana motuhake. We firmly believe that kapa haka serves as a powerful vessel to achieve this goal, allowing us to celebrate and express our rich cultural heritage. Join us on this journey as we honor our traditions and strengthen our community through kapa haka. Together, we can foster a deeper connection to our roots and empower future generations.


Ngā Mātāpono
Our mātāpono are the foundation of how we achieve our vision and mission, ensuring that everyone is treated with respect and integrity in all our actions. Affectionately known as 'Ngā Whaka', our values hold great significance, guiding us in our commitment to excellence and fostering a positive environment for all. Together we strive to embody these principles in everything we do.
