The Pou Revisited: A Community Conversation
Next date: Sunday, 14 September 2025 | 11:00 AM
to 11:30 AM
It has been nearly 20 years since the 10 pou were raised outside Wānanga Whakatupu Mātauranga, Whangārei Central Library.
The pou represent a rich diversity of cultures: Māori, Pasifika, Celtic, Dalmatian, Korean and others that have woven the social fabric of Whangārei.
Join us for a guided walk and kōrero with Te Warihi Hetaraka, project leader for the Pou project. Together, we’ll visit each of these stunning carvings, reflect on their stories and celebrate the community spirit that brought this project into being.
