Explore your connection to the taiao (natural environment) through art making in Ngā Pakiaka: Like the Roots of a Tree. Be inspired by the whenua (land) and all its living creatures in fun, family-friendly activities that encourage you to feel with your fingers, play with your imagination, connect with each other and be a proud, creative kaitiaki (guardian) of our planet.
Whakatōmenetia tō hononga ki te taiao mā te mahi toi i roto i Ngā Pakiaka: Like the Roots of a Tree. Kia whakaohotia koe e te whenua me ōna koiora katoa, i roto i ēnei ngohe whakangahau mā te whānau katoa, e ākina nei ō matimati te whāwhā, tō hinengaro te tākarokaro, tō whānau te whakakaha i te herenga tāngata, e tū ai koe hei kaitiaki auaha e whakahīhī ana ki tō tātou ao.
