This event is designed to provide HR practitioners with an authentic experience of pōwhiri, build cultural capability, understand marae tikanga, explore kaupapa Māori within HR practice, and foster meaningful connections with local tangata whenua.

We will gather at the waharoa (gateway to the marae) at 8.55am for the welcome briefing, followed by formal pōwhiri (click here for Pōwhiri guidelines).

Throughout the day you will take part in workshops and interactive activities, with morning tea and lunch provided by our hosts at the marae

Puketeraki marae is located in Karitane, just north of Dunedin. The marae's primary hapū is Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki of Ngāi Tahu. The wharenui is named Huirapa. It was carved in 2007 by James York, Ross Hemera and Jenny Rendell. The wharekai is Maririhau. Huirapa connects ancestrally to the waka Takitimu and Araiteuru.
