Indigenous Dreaming Workshop: Kiribati Crafts and Stories

Join Pacific Powered Peoples as we host our third Indigenous Dreaming workshop! This will be an interactive session making Kakii (traditional Kiribati chokers) hosted by Ara M'aneaba. Whilst making Kakii, this workshop will be sharing what life in Kiribati was like when the first Kakii were made vs. now in modern times. The maroro will include the changes in Kakii materials and changes in how we live our everyday lives. Pacific Powered Peoples 'Indigenous Dreaming' series are monthly table talks about the energy system here in Aotearoa hosted by different Pacific community leaders. Every session begins sharing cultural stories and practices to show us what collective dreaming can look like for us as Pacific Peoples in Tāmaki Makaurau. Then, we go into community storytelling. Participants are broken up into smaller groups to keep crafting, eating, and sharing stories about our everyday life in Aotearoa to build a movement empowering Pacific energy wellbeing. This is a free event with food and resources provided. Just come as yourself! When: 21st of November 2026 11:30am-2pm Where: Te Manawa Library, 11 Kohuhu Lane, Westgate, Auckland 0814 Come and be part of the change.
