ESTABLISHED in Perth, WA in July 2009, Manawa Mai Tawhiti is a traditional Māori Performing Arts club. The retention of traditional Māori language and customs is heavily influenced by music, dance and lyrics. This provides a focal and essential community service to New Zealanders who call Perth and the wider Western Australian community, home.
OUR name Manawa Mai Tawhiti means “Yearning from afar”. This name derives from a collective yearning for all things that are home (NZ), and that although we live and work in Perth and wider Western Australian community, it is vitally important to retain and maintain cultural essence away from NZ, whilst respecting other cultures and peoples. WE acknowledge the traditional custodians on the lands where we are based, the Nyungar Aboriginal People – Elders, both past and present, and pay our respects to them as fellow First Nations people.
See our website for more information.
Kia ora tātou.
