Ngā Wānanga o Hine Kōpū is a two-day wānanga for wāhine and their whānau who are expecting a baby. Delivering antenatal knowledge grounded in matauranga Māori, and led by Koha Aperahama, the programme is reclaiming Māori practices and traditions for māmā & whānau at wānanga across Te Tai Tokerau.
“We were always brought up with an understanding that wāhine kōpu (pregnant women) had a special status within the whānau… My intention for these wānanga is to reinstate the special status of hine kōpu.”
– Koha Aperahama
