It was wonderful to see local people arrive at Te Poho o Tuariki s first open day, Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa spokeswoman Kiri Wilson says.
The Rangitīkei tribe s open day was on Saturday, February 27, at its iwi headquarters Te Poho o Tuariki in Marton. The 5ha complex is the former Turakina Maōri Girls College, which Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa bought in April 2018 and officially opened in February 2019.
