Te Hana Maori Village

Home / International Student Experience / Semester 1 2012 Events / Te Hana Maori Village

Saturday 19^th May 9am-2pm

Warfare was a big part of traditional Maori life, and one form of tribal defence was a pa, or fortified refuge, built to protect the village from enemy tribes. A wall of spiked logs surrounded the village and had platforms where armed sentries kept watch. On this day trip, we’ll visit a life-size model pa site and 17^th Century Maori village in Te Hana (about an hour north of Auckland), where you can experience and learn about pre-European Maori life in an authentic setting.

Cost: $25 for Unitec students; $30 for everyone else Includes transport, marae visit, morning tea, cultural performance and guided tour.
