Explore our Whare Taonga.

Piriharakeke is a place for the arts and learning. It inspires older and younger generations to interact with each other and continue our cultural values, beliefs, rituals and traditions.

Kaitiaki may share their Piriharakeke connections with visitors, and tell the stories that have shaped hapū identity, values, strategies and hapū with connections to Te Awahou Foxton.
