List of marae in the Hawke's Bay Region facts for kids
A marae (pronounced mah-rye) is a very special and important place for Māori people in New Zealand. It's like a community gathering spot, a spiritual home, and a place for important events. Every marae has a wharenui (pronounced fah-reh-noo-ee), which is the main meeting house. These places are where iwi (tribes) and hapū (smaller family groups) come together.
This page lists the marae found in the Hawke's Bay Region. In October 2020, the New Zealand Government provided over $9.6 million to help upgrade 51 marae in this region. This project aimed to create more than 260 jobs, helping the local community and preserving these important cultural sites.
