An annual Waitangi Day commemorative hīkoi to Clive’s Farndon Park will this year focus on unity and resilience.

The historic February 6 event, close to Waipureku, where Te Tiriti was signed in 1840, promises opportunities for reflection and action.

“The focus is how we all – Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti - are moving forward in honouring Te Tiriti in partnership, as individuals, as collectives, as a region and as a nation," Waipureku Waitangi Trust chair Maxine Boag says.

The event begins at 7.45am at Ātea a Rangi, in Waitangi Park, with karakia, followed by the Hīkoi of Unity, a three-kilometre walk to Farndon Park.

Participants will pause at Clive Bridge for karakia by the memorial plaque honouring the Kahungunu chiefs who signed Te Tiriti close by.

Boag says the hīkoi is “a beautiful and popular way to begin the day and an opportunity to reflect”.

Non-walkers will join the group riverside at 8.45am at Farndon Park for the haka pōwhiri, led by mana whenua.

The day includes speeches from local leaders and author and award-winning historian Vincent O’Malley, who has worked as a professional historian focused mainly on Treaty of Waitangi claims research since 1993.

After a morning tea at 10.30am, a second session begins at 11am, with a range of speakers and workshops focusing on “honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi now and in the future”.

“The intention is to talk about the Treaty in ways that look out for everyone and are mana-enhancing for all and then act on that,” Boag says.
