Ngā Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium

The Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium 2025, held in July 2025, was the third gathering celebrating Māori research and researchers from Te Matau-a-Māui | Hawke’s Bay, across Aotearoa, and beyond. Over three days, participants came together to share mātauranga, showcase innovative research, and strengthen connections within and beyond the rohe.

The Auaka Tumutumu Symposium, held in August 2023, was a significant follow-up to the Mārama Project’s inaugural symposium in 2021. This four-day event focused on advancing the understanding and practices surrounding the preservation of Māori taonga (treasures), particularly within the archives of Ngāti Kahungunu.

Mārama Symposium

The Mārama: Manuscripts with Memory Symposium, held in 2021, marked the beginning of the Mārama Project’s efforts to bring together experts, archivists, and whānau to explore the rich histories contained within Māori manuscript collections.

On 20th November 2024, whānau, hapū, iwi, and professionals from the cultural and heritage sectors came together for a wānanga focused on resilience, recovery, and preparation following Cyclone Gabrielle.
