Te Reo Wainene o Tua (TRWOT) is an innovative te Reo MÄori storytelling kaupapa that brings together a collective of high profile te Reo MÄori (MÄori Language) advocates and parents. Honoring the deep genealogical connections between the Tangata MÄori and Kanaka Maoli, TRWOT has embarked on their first international collaboration to Hawai‘i as part of the Creative New Zealand International Indigenous Art Form Exchange 2015. TRWOT imparts history and MÄtauranga MÄori about their tupuna and culture through the traditional oral art form of storytelling in te Reo MÄori. They strive to create career pathways and mentoring opportunities for rangatahi that are interested in this particular art form. They encourage teachers and educators to attend their workshops, as they believe storytelling methods and thought processes have educational benefits for the tamariki and rangtahi. Join us as they share their kaupapa in an evening of storytelling and dialogue.
