Comprised of staff and students and family members of Tikipunga High School, past and present alike, Te Whānau o Tukua o Punga are a newly-formed group that have come together to support the cause of Maranga Mai E Te Iwi.
Respected kaumatua of the region, Robert Diamond says, “I can assure you they might not be the Te Waka Huia of the haka world, but [they’re] sure allowed to think they can be.”
Here is Te Whānau o Tukua o Punga and their waiata ā-ringa.
