Questions?
Tangihanga
Kawemate
Why?
The tangihanga is the enduring Maori ceremony to mourn the dead. The body lies on a marae and people come to pay their respects.
A kawemate is a process in Te Ao Maori to assist those that couldn't make it to the funeral to all come together, to grieve and to talk with others attempting to make sense of our tragic loss.
When?
The tangihanga was held two weeks ago.
Sat 19 August (passed away)
Marae: Te Hurihi, Awarua. The whole school - Monday 21 August, Wednesday 23 funeral in Whangarei (staff)
