Hoani Waititi Marae, Māori community center in Parrs Park, New Zealand
The Hoani Waititi Marae features carved wooden structures and gathering spaces spread across 3.45 hectares of land in West Auckland.
Established in 1980, the marae responded to the migration of Māori communities from rural areas to cities during the 1950s and 1960s.
The marae holds weekly meetings where members learn traditional Māori practices, language, and ceremonies through structured programs and workshops.
The facility includes Te Kura Kaupapa Māori school, providing complete Māori language immersion education from primary through secondary levels.
The wharenui named Ngā Tūmanako contains carvings depicting seven migratory waka that traveled to New Zealand.
