Waikato-Tainui Rangatahi Summit
He piko, he rangatahi! He piko, he rangatira! acknowledges
the talents and expertise of our rangatahi and was the
overarching theme of the 2013 Waikato-Tainui Rangatahi
Summit. Held over three days, the Summit was an
opportunity for rangatahi to come together to engage, learn
and share knowledge and experiences to strengthen their
connection to the iwi.
Rangatahi Leadership Camps
Waikato-Tainui rangatahi were given the opportunity to take
part in a pilot leadership programme aboard waka hourua,
Haunui. More than 40 rangatahi took part in the programme
designed to develop the capacity of Tainui leadership by
teaching rangatahi about voyaging and the journey made by
the Tainui Waka on its migration from Hawaiki to Aotearoa.
Five of the rangatahi also spent seven days out at sea on
board Haunui as it sailed from Auckland to Kaawhia.
