After 15 years, 100 renovations and seeing thousands of whānau coming home, this season Marae DIY has a fresh focus on kaitiakitanga. Transforming marae in 4 days and extending beyond the whare to the whenua.
Te Kahika Pā marae dream of self-sufficiency, a thriving awa & healthy whenua. They’ve called in Marae DIY to help accelerate a vision their four founding kuia would be proud of.
Taita Marae is ready to come together and heal. In the name of whakamoimori, taha wairua, taha tinana, taha whānau and taha hinengaro are woven together in this raw episode.
The Kaipara harbour has provided kai for generations of tāngata whenua. The whānau of Oruawharo marae are protecting the moana by cleaning up their landfill.
The tipuna whare at Taheke marae is rotting and needs urgent restoration… luckily she has a large whānau, who care deeply, ready to show kotahitanga!
Join us again this season as our team joins forces with hapū to DIY their Marae. Once dubbed the Māori Hogwarts, Tapu te Ranga Marae was one of a kind before it was destroyed in a fire.
