Meri Kirihimete e te whānau! 🎄   Today is a time to celebrate the joy of kotahitanga—coming together in love and unity with those who mean the most. We hope your day is filled with aroha, laughter, and the warmth of whānau and friends. Ngā mihi nui o te wā Kirihimete.

Christmas is just around the corner, and as we near the end of another year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the support you've shown us throughout 2024. We wish you a joyful and safe Christmas break with your whānau and friends. Our office will be closed from Friday, 20th December 2024 to Monday, 6th January 2025. If we don’t catch up with you before then, we look forward to seeing you in the New Year! Ngā mihi o te wā me te Tau Hou!

We stand with Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti in upholding the mana of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Tomorrow, the Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti will descend onto Pāremata, marking a stand for Māori sovereignty and the full recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It challenges the ongoing efforts to rewrite history and diminish the Treaty’s intent. We stand in solidarity with the movement to protect Te Tiriti. Whītiki tauā e hoa mā—kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui! Image credit: @imagesbydavide #ToitūTeTiriti #ToitūTeWhakaputanga #ToitūTeReoMāori #ManaMotuhake #TinoRangatiratanga #Hīkoi

We mourn the passing of Sir Robert (Bom) Gillies, the last surviving member of the 28th Māori Battalion, who has left us at the age of 99. A true rangatira, known for his incredible humility, initially declined his knighthood twice, feeling unworthy. He later accepted it as a tribute to the Māori Battalion, honouring the bravery and sacrifice of his comrades. Koro Bom served in B Company during World War II after enlisting at just 17, dedicating his life to preserving the Battalion’s legacy and advocating for the recognition of Māori soldiers. A leader who inspired many with his quiet strength and resilience, Koro Bom’s legacy will live on in the hearts of Aotearoa. Moe mai rā, e te rangatira.
