NGAPUHI FESTIVAL
The presenter of a Maori television series on Ngapuhi says the weekend's festival in Kaikohe showed the growing strength of the country's largest tribe. Quentin Hita says more than 40,000 people attended the Ngapuhi festival featuring, food, music and korero.
He says it’s significant this year's festival was attended by as many as five times more than last year as Ngapuhi has not always been seen to be united.
“When people feel like they have met face to face, it strengthens that sense of identity. It’s about engendering pride and I’m sure we will see Ngapuhi move forward on issues as a unified collective and I think that’s really exciting,” Mr Hita says.
