Kohanga's Hangi The weekend of the Hangi was a busy one for the members of Te Kohanga Reo o Ranana! Not only did we have Toast NZ on the Saturday but the very next day was the Hangi! The Hangi is held at Clandon House, which is out in Surrey, every year. Back in 1892 Lord Onslow bought Hinemihi and had it shipped out to England. You will recognise Hinemihi from the pictures of it being covered in ash from the Mt Tarawera eruption of 1886. The story of Hinemihi in England is a touching one, one with a long association with New Zealanders across two world wars and right through to today. This image reminds us of the aroha from home, it was taken during the powhiri as guests are welcomed on to Hinemihi Marae for the first time. |
